Actually love that, not so keen on the bonnet vents, and I'd have the cage in red.. But it's all personal pref. and it's your car!

big big fan tho :)

Love this car and been fortunate enough to have been in it at Llandow. Brilliant spec
 
This looks epic, to be honest I think your a hero for painting a LY car blue, I'm surprised cs police haven't been along to have a go at you for that.

Are you going for a bigger turbo to suit the forged engine out of interest?

I love this car. Awesome. It makes me want to spend a bit of cash on a 172 cup and turn it into a track ****.

Awesome work!!

Love the Discovery on track ha

Bolted some bits onto the engine.

Just waiting for some new ARP bolts as i dont have the measurements from the old ARP bolts and didnt want to risk anything for the sake of 80. Decat has been sent off to be ceramic coated at zircotec. :( 3 week wait on it coming back has put a stopper on the engine going back in but least i can get it all built up and ready to rock!
