Bit late now they've finished the work It wasn't the bodyshop that kicked the wing though it was the company dealing with it all for me.

Whats been done to the bodywork is what I would call tidying it up, improving whats already been done. I didn't really have much money left after the LET conversion as it was done with no expense spared. But the small changes I have made I think have made a big difference for me.
Cheers

D4 - 160bhp, na, 16"s
D5 - 220bhp, turbo, 17"s.
Im hoping for a 15 dead this year, and hoping to get D5NNA around 14.5 (theres a lot of weight in there remember, and on 17"s). Anything lower for either cars would be good i think.
16hp from the IC. thats hoping for a lot

If I drive off from the lights I still take it to the change point on partial throttle in 1st then in second you can normally get away with flooring it because of the revs and moving, if you change as soon as you spin then floorit your getting a lot of torque and your not moving very fast and you get spin. what tyres you got? I'd recomend good year eagle GSD3 or Bridgestone potenza SO-3's
I will bear that in mind next time I get to drive her then
Pirelli P6000's
Yes those tyres explain a lot

No its not. Air filter, straight through 2.5" system into new rear box and fuck off sized FMIC. 16bhp on a 2.0 turbo, more than possible. You can get 80bhp just through a chip on these engines.
If fact im sure you've already said yourself it'll be about 220bhp

True, cowboys way of tuning.
Anything betwen 215-220 and we'll be happy i think. It is afterall a pretty standard engine.

This bodyshop sounds like any big company thats makes it good with a good name that everyone knows about.
Now they have a good name they don't give a fuck, I always said the owner looked like a pikey
Thats if its the one I'm thinking of.
Anyway, can't wait to see the car.
AND YOUR bloody car has been holding up mine going to Lees

Can't believe he had that kind of attitude. Greg was alright, couldn't believe it, Jamie though has turned into a right tosser!!!!!
All about making money now and not about doing it for the love of cars.
