Dan I was thinking of the tegiwa whale induction kit not the enclosed box type like the mugen.. id like it a tad raspy but not crazy, what system do you have on yours?
I've been on the lookout for one of these over the past 3-4weeks as I just don't use my Fiesta XR2 Trackcar enough anymore, had it 3 years, was 220bhp/tonne and was a very quick car but I just couldn't justify keeping it anymore tbh with mates going into drifting and others just not doing...

my mate took his r1 in the back of his van and thought why not take mine on trailer to split the fuel money and save us both not doing the 250mile drive on our own haha

we decided to go to Shakespeare County Raceway instead of Santa POD, glad we did as it was half hour closer than POD and when we were queing we could watch everyone up the strip!
