I'll take mine up the strip for sure, but I'm not sure if it'll be C1 or C2 at this point. Oh, & I'll be 'deliberately going slowly so that the photos come out better'. Ahem.

I like your style - already lining up the excuses for your iS getting beaten by a 316i! :)

well im unsure if i'd fit in the A1 section but i'd not be very happy with a stripped IS on ITB's being in the section for sure.that would surely out do mine and maxfields car?but sadly i dont think it has the grunt to in A2. where did you get the ITBs from? any dyno runs?

TBH, I can't remember.

Its making 104bhp (i think at the wheels) but anything over 4k-4.5k rpm when its climbing onto the cam and it just drops power. Ill have the cam timing all done very soon then a new tune and power run done.
