hopefully just with the new plenum and shorter piping should just push over 200rwkw which ill be happy with for the time being... it made 196rwkw last time it was on it which i was psyched about with a faulty wastegate so yeh pretty happy with the power of it not really looking for more power atm just want a general tidy up, hence why im doing the bay in it next thing will hopefully be interior... thinking about coulsens done in calais material.... but i know its gonna be a few grand easily and dont wanna spend too much on it too quickly or maybe numberplates whenh i get off my license in august

been driving it for just over a year now. get my fulls in august went down to queen st today to have a look at the car... car looks weird without a motor in it well they had smoothed and primed the battery tray area, done some little things around the tower and tomoz starting work on getting rid of the two bumps where the overflow bottle screws into and the airbox area... they said hopefully it should be going into the booth on friday so can't wait and for those people wondering, heres a list of whats happening to it: - battery tray area smoothed off -air box area smoothed - both struts smoothed - whole bay resprayed in imperial blue - rocker cover sprayed in imperial blue with the two lines done in asteroid silver - fan shroud painted imperial blue - brake booster repsrayed gloss black - fuse block lid gloss black - brake fluid holder redone in silver - new plenum repsrayed in imperial blue can't wait to get it back, hoping for sometime next week, if not early the week after Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what do u mean legal and not legal on a vlt...? do you mean what's roadworthy and epa compliant? ALSO LITTLE UPDATE! spoke to queen st today, they finally got the whole bay smoothed out and is going into the booth tomoz they said it was a carnt of a job to get of the bumps where the overflow bottle screwed into so fingers crossed to get the car back early/mid next week
