cossie604 Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Cheers for the welcoming ppl!!! Yeah engine bay does look a tad red in those pics...they're out of date pictures by about a yr tbh...got a bit more chrome breaking it up in there now. Should be going for a live mapping session some time near the end of the yr to finish off my mods....so should be around the 420-450bhp mark after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Tyresmoke we are here to talk about cars (bull about them too); we don't care what you drive as long as you have a genuine interest in them. Just join in the joy - there is plenty of it to go around Nice bit of kit BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
