First Project Car (customer) - complete

[Fred@BTM]

just needs mapping, spec is nothing fancy, cams, manifolds matched (thanks AWT!) 182 exhaust manifold, new clutch, fix all the oil leaks, make it look pretty etc

this car had had a recent cambelt change before the current owner bought the car (all went in the bin anyway) and it was quite obvious the renault tools hadn't been used, timing was WAY out, so i reiterate my point, whoever does your belt change MAKE SURE they have the tools!

[Fred@BTM]

CATCAMS 428's
AWT hand matched manifolds
182 exhaust mani
BTM custom link pipe (decat and cat interchangeable )
samco bend
panel filter (no idea what)
RST custom mapping session (a bit sexy)

current exhaust is naff, with a proper exhaust and maybe a different filter setup it may do 195
