I didn't think my old T5 was THAT laggy, but you really do notice when going to a cracking N/A engine. If that had the CSL airbox it would be abso fucking lutely epic.

Thanks Gav.
I didn't think my MPS was either Eck, until I put the standard TMIC on to sell it, then when I went to this the difference is like night & day! It might have been so different because the car wasn't mapped mind you? Watching one on eBay atm, it's at £1500 lol, I can only dream of that tbh

Nice car there mate Interesting moment on track there I thought most tracks didn't allow rear passengers?
Silverstone isn't that far from me but I've not been on the track. Thinking about maybe going to Trax next year just to have a go

Thanks mate. Rear passenger? There isn't a rear passenger?
It's the best experience you can have in a car mate. Although I wouldn't say a session at a show is the best one, probably put you off more than anything as you get some right nobs with 15mins to prove themselves

To be fair it might sound easy to say considering I've posted a video of getting sideways, but I think it's very controllable, my problem there was my lack of throttle control but I am hoping that's just the year and a half of driving a turbo car that has made me lazy about it. But then I can't comment on your 350 as it's gotta be pretty heavy car so maybe it throws it's weight around a bit easier?

Thanks mate.
Official pics are up now
Was tempted to buy some. But they are £10 each or £30 for 10, so not sure as they aren't what I would call amazing.
