I tell you what Rob!
It looks better in person than on the photos!
Bit cheeky I know but would really like a ride in it one day! (Just wait for the good weather)
Dan
There is no such thing as a stupid question.
Just the ones I ask!

Finally managed to get past the magic 260 mark on the rollers.
Came back from a mapping session with Darren at DWR Performance of Chesterfiled with a meaty 262bhp.
DWR PERFORMANCE
Darren has been at this for 18 years now and cant come highly recommended enough in my eyes.
He is big into mapping/rebuilding EVO's but still has time to map n/a old school stuff like mine.
Car is now singing and am well pleased to say the least.
Just need my brakes to be singing along with it now so its off to Mark and Colin at MAC1 tomorrow for upgrades before Oulton next Friday

This is the 3rd revamp of this engine after different failures but its running different cam timing now and gained most of it from that.
