I will be polishing up the rims again and getting the turbo setup finished then off to maatouks for a tune up on E85, Going for 400rwkw in her or so but will bee what happens. The car already doesnt have a problem lighting up the rear in top gear 5 up so will be good. I enjoy building cars so i am actually thinking off selling the car complete once done and starting another. The great thing about the car is the condition/no rust/engineered for all mods so its making me start to want to keep it haha... Also cheers for the comments guys on the interior i was actually thinking of taking it out of the car and putting another colour in but chose not to as it was the original interior from factory.

S2 red trim, i thought it was just a myth

myth? you kidding or for real?

yeh s2 red interior is rare thing to behold well done looks nice

didnt realise it was rare? i have decided to be open for offers on the car with all the gear anyways as i have my eye on something else now anyways... bigger and better at the end.
