As its my first post on this informative forum i dont want to appear too judgemental but hicost your barkin mad m8. 415 hp in something that weighs the same as a rather over stuffed chiristmas turkey, your off your rocker, or by the looks of your engine, both of them (16v geddit ha ha ha ).
Much respect.


Just seen your photo archive and the nos bottle, you are mental. Have you had your adrenalin gland removed ?

Not quite as mental as I thought he might be! He seems to have realised he'd found probably the quickest avenue to death possible and sold the nitrous kit.

Doesn't 'need' it he says! Maybe the cost of engine rebuilds is threatening to bite, or just maybe there's a twinge of fear? Not putting the man down, mind - I'll be scared enough with my relatively paltry 180bhp.
