    the power is up to 275bhp at the moment, with a lot more to come, in the process of replacing the turbo and exhaust system this week,

    Cheers for the compliment, the best quarter was 14.8 at york with the old turbo and exhaust, so whan it finaly gets mapped next week I should hope to be into the low 13's, but it's not realy a quarter mile or hillclimb car.

    Just so that people don't think it's another unfinished project, I'm still moving on slowly (poor health and all that ) but managed a trip out to RAF Cosford on the weekend.
