Agree with Nay, would finish it off nicely :cool:

Also, is that a custom made air box?

I'm thinking of entering mine in a concours event, but I'm worried they'll mark it down for being too tidy and shiney, what do you reckon?
Martin, doesnt it have to be driven in to a concourse show? Or is it still running?

It's STILL running!!!

I think it might be over a month now, it's doing very well! :chuckle:

And for those who know the A229 (dual carriage way merging to three lanes) Blue Bell Hill in Kent, on saturday night I was at the bottom behind a Subaru Impreza and had a Mitsubishi Evo 27 or 35 or whatever behind me.

I won't go into too much detail but at the top the Impreza was waaaay behind us and the Evo didn't get past either. :D
