It's running between 340 - 350 bhp and 370 - 390 lb/ft depending on what rollers it's on.

Thanks for the comments.
Wheel is not standard on the RA, I'm thinking of swapping it though as its a little to thick for me.
You can get them from japanparts.com.

Thanks for the offer but I've already got a replacement, it's getting retrimmed at the end of the month. Nice try though.

Yeah I've seen done mate. I'd hate to buy one and the bugger doesn't fit. I couldn't even work out how much they were if I'm being honest

£370 at the moment, but I know with Japanparts you'll also get stung with all of the import duties and VAT so add another 30% on that

They are not red bulbs, but backlit led gauges,, although the cluster can be fitted in earlier cars.
