Apparently so ! I need to take a photo of my engine bay, everyone will just laugh at how much is ramshackled into such a small place

Actually this is a standard bay -



To fit anything, most of the car has to be taken apart

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to do anything to it. You have to remove the engine to remove the airbox (but cant just about get the filter out but destory your hand).

Will get some better pictures as its just

I like mine for its mid range acceleration. 3rd gear onwards its a torque monster

Never really bother doing standing starts, 1st and 2nd are over too quick and full of wheelspin to get a decent time

No.....

And I agree matt, I think the main issue is getting the power down in first and second, hence why i have a slight advantage
