do you find your car spins up more? as it looks like the power comes in really early and your peak torque seems to be very low down in the rev range.

It's nowhere as dramatic as the curve makes it seem.
Yes it definitely takes some moderation of the pedal, but that same torque curve makes it brilliant in day to day driving.
Not to mention that the acceleration is wild when you want it :)

Couldnt of put that better myself lol, it does spin if you just floor it willy nilly and of course its dependent of road surface/weather. And it doesnt help that my tyres arent great lol :thumbdown: but the acceleration is awesome :)

nice results mate, looking forward to see what you do.

Thanks mate, i think the next set of mods are going to be just making some of the standard stuff better, for example, braided break hoses, and my cam belt is almost due lol :) will keep this up to date though :)

Ok so yesterday, some scumbag decided to key my car.

In a Tesco car park, Tesco's do not accept liability, neither do they have cctv cpverage of the carpark.

Not a happy bunny to say the least.

Should be getting a quote today from a body shop so tell me how much the repairs will cost.

That's proper crap!! Cost me 150 when the same happened to me around Christmas.
Dented in, scratch, and buckled...lovely gift.

I hate people.

Yeah, it was completely unprovoked too, some real scumbags out there. Im hoping its around the 150 mark, i would be happy with that, gonna try to get it mopped at the same.time too to improve the rest of the paintwork.

Ok so a little update, managed to get the fog lights fitted today, was a bit of a nightmare on the first light, then i realized you can literally just pull the light housing out. First bulb took the best part of 40minutes the second bulb took 5 haha. Heres a pic with all of the lights on :)
