Charles that's not nice, and the misses has bet 4 weeks so i'm not driving it till the powercruze also i'm going to enter it into the powersik comp, they are going for the world record again so might as well try or put it into the wall trying and no skids just yet, still having so problems with the timing, hopefully sorted tonight! and there will be video's on my youtube account as soon as it does on another note, the turbo flutter was insane so ****ing loud it scared me Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looking sweet - but hey is that one of my earlier green fuserails in your engine bay - or did someone copy it <arrrghh> Want to upgrade to a matt black one with engine bay lighting kit ? Hey, curious why you have an aftermarket coil and ignition driver is that also for retarding timing on boost. Because the standard VL coil is already a high performance unit which could be driven with a higher voltage quite reliably... ?
