Jez took the photo 8-) Henry has some good ones too, will get a post up with pics of our stand and the cars on it soon hopefully.

Thanks to all those who came over and said they liked the engine etc- makes things worthwhile- and LOL to the guy who offered his girlfriend for my engine :lol:

More mapping to come, along with 4 pots, subframe, and i'm sure the nitrous will find its way home too :-D

That's a F**king lovely looking car mate even without the engine mods. Subtlety at it's best. 8-)

What tires are you running in that pic yoof?

Going home this weekend to hopefully fix the problem with the coil & dwell angle, then will be back on the roads to do some more mapping, hit the rollers early oct hopefully- not sure if it will be running well for Renault 5 day, doubt it will have the nitrous on... but you never know.

Yoof

Love the car, Many a lost hour or two have been put into it.

I had a little lookie at the Polo show-nice talking to you.

:shock::shock:

What do you use to get a reflection like that on it???

Thats awesome!

Thats just a long exposure time with someone spinning a torch around in a circle

Ment the Paint, What products do you use?

Meguirs 3 stage :thumbsup:

Few new bits on their way, ignition is up and running properly now, returning 35mpg+ as it should be now. Won't be ready for the Renault day, but should be gassed up and running well for Club Polo RR Day.

Also got some new wheels on the way from germany :unibrow:
