Default Update on this

I have about 19,000km on the engine now since I built it. Plans are an SC40 or 46 (cant decide) and tubular headers.

I had it out on track on the 29th december 2011 did ok but found the T1r's useless in the wet,

Vid of it on track

Also,
New Revolution Cat Back arrived today 3" with 100mm rolled tail pipe all slip jointed so no hassle with gaskets




Sounds gorgeous very quiet at idle and no drone when crusing and a nice bark on full chat, delighted with the fit and quality for the price
pics of it on the car
