thanks guys, i did 240rwkw on 14psi but my converter started to slip, so im in for a new one. the engine has done 330rwkw with a smaller setup (standard extractors, to4, different cooler and plenum) and im looking to push some more boost into it soon it doesnt have the hub caps anymore is has black 15x7 ceptas with front runners and the interior is all yellow with a roll cage, so no more sleeper Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I heard you wrote that car off ? I remember seeing the car in somerville, in a mates court. You there with baxter and that ? Didnt you buy this car when it was running 10's ? I remember seeing it years ago and it was mint, sounded awesome and went like the clappers!
