:lol: :lol: :lol:

OK what has been done:

We had the upholstery sorted and then put it in for the work to be done and that resulted in them pulling it apart. It went to the upholsterer again today.

Charles Dunn has done the following:

New engine management system and program which self learns
Rebuilt the engine with new cams and some head work (the crank is billeted and it has forged Mahle piston and rods) should be 740- 760 bhp
Larger throttle body and air induction
New pulleys
Electric water pump
Bigger radiator and massive electric fans from the Evo 1020
Total rewire
Fuel system changed to run out of the right tank and back to the left with non return valve to stop the right draining.
New air conditioning system
All the grills changed to Evo style grills as they allow 50% more air flow
Reworked exhaust and zitec
All the driver aids and central locking removed
Speedo reworked
Suspension upgraded to track setup and geo to be done next week.
New tyre (Michelin PS2)
Wheels refurbished
Evo lighting
The body has been repaired and splitter made (not fitted yet)
Wheels refurbished


I have probably missed some work

Cannot wait to get it back and have a go even if a bit apprehensive to track it :oops:

You've had the exhaust Zirotec'ed in black?

It is looking good and I look forward to a drive :)

Love that. I especially love the spec that says 740 - 760bhp followed by ALL driver aids removed!!! :shock:

That is going to be a proper weapon!

I too, along with everyone else look forward to seeing it.
