Nice car. Just set aside a couple of grand for when it goes wrong. Thats not sarcasm either unfortunately.

Re: Archived Post from old forum I havent read all this thread, but i must comment on this and say i think yuour on a bit of a high here. You love the way it doesnt pull to start with? It feels gutless for a 180bhp engine due to long gearing in the first couple of gears, plus, from first to...
