Looks good mate, but I think the downpipe will foul on the subframe where it is?

Or is it just the perspective of the photo?

madmk1...haven't poked into your thread yet although I've been watching....awesome build so far! And yes, I did vote for you even though I'm in the US and could't win the prize anyway....

In any case, I've used a homemade version of the 4 puck in my N/A 1380 and it bites like a fiend with an orange pressure plate! Only problem is with some around town driving is that it really bites fast upon release and can get old on the leg in a hurry....I guess it really isn't any worse than straight cut drops gear whine though!

Again, excellent build...love the car! *Yes*

Haha. O right lol. The internals are similar spec to what I'm having from what I remember, will be good to see what difference the turbo etc will make from what it ran before, have you got a boost/ bhp target. I want to be at Avon and the pod, looking forward to Avon as I havnt been before.
