I just used some battery cable we had in stock at work cant remember what the size is though pal

Ali's is very light nothing left in it lol & just the 1 bucket seat :approve: wish i had the balls to go all out & strip mine but i love my recaros too much, sunflower made 253.1bhp on Pauls rollers at RSTuning

 

[Savi]

Pretty healthy bud, is it just the charger and mapping?

 

[Craig.]

Yeah pretty much matey well exhaust aswell, im going to do a full spec tomorrow with better pictures

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Your SF is superb, im jealous!

What is fuel economy like with 253bhp?

 

[danzel]

[Craig.]

Thanks Danny

Normal driving is fine really, but you notice it go when you put your foot down abit as you'd expect, but not as bad as some cars seeing their fuel gauge move quicker then the speedo lol

[jack_kemp]

That SF is very low indeed! Both look gorgeous.

 

[Craig.]

Looks lower as the front wheels went down into abit of a hole lol, splitter has plenty of clearance any other time

 

[Knuckles]

Was this charged at the south shields meet? Awesome car none the less. I love yellow clios

 

[Hixle]

Cup's mint but the Sunflower is just incredible.

 

[Gray]

Both awesome motors!

No it was charged then mate just had it done :-D

Gray you should have kept it for a little toy

 

[ali_warriner]

Thanks for the nice comments on mine

I'll get some detailed pics of the battery job and links to cable used etc. jamie and pm them to you.

I must say after being out in Craigs i would like to charge mine and put a nice interior in. Craigs is a lovely place to be with recaros etc. Perfect all rounder:approve:

I still cant get over how well it handles the power Craig. Simply awesome matey.

 

[CuppyDean]

Ali you have took more interior out, i never thought that was possible since i seen it last lol you still got the cable ties holding the door handles on? there something special

Ha cheeky, you know my workmanship is second to none. The sill repair I did on your Pug will outlive us both
