Needs new plates (not saying that just because im scottish )
I keep fancying a ctr although I was never a big fan of them and may struggle coming from a turbo derv but just wanted to own one to see how they were
Edit : well in fact I did own one but never drove it as it was bought to be stripped

Dont think the actual inlet is but the charger housing sticks up a bit higher. Let me know if you want any specific dimensions

keep getting messages on ctroc asking if I wanna sell it
Just sorted new insurance and 12 months tax so its not going any time soon
Sky insurance FTW reasonable price and its nice to speak to people that actually have a clue what you are talking about.
All insured on the basis of the mods been replaced like for like too
Changed the exhaust over to get it legal for coombe too
Old race tube off
Found out what i hit on a speed hump the other week
New system on
OEM rear box with 2.5inch silenced stainless centre
Rear box had been living in the old owners shed since 2005 so cleaned it up
Will upload a vid of the new sound
Sounds oem but with a whine when you boot it
Need to get it rr though to check the rear box isnt too restrictive for it

How it sounds now
Excuse crap vid I just wedged the camera in the cup holder
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPRmPsXHR1w
Really happy with how it sounds and looks now ie OEM quite and looks standard from the outside.
But may have to change the back box as it definatly doesnt feel as if it pulls as strong for 6k anymore.
Although im not sure if the diameter of the back box pipe been half an inch smaller can make that much of a difference. Maybe the map just needs a tweek

Thought I would give this an update
Swapped my buddyclub spec 4 for these
Going to get the tyres swapped over this weekend hopefully. Still not sure on white but they were cheap cheap so will see how they go. If not I will get mine powdercoated whilst they are off the car.
Also before the car went to germany it got a quick service. New filters and oil. Easy peasy barring the oil filter that was on silly tight. So violence, hammer and screwdriver ended up on the cards
Then with the addition of some GB stickers I was good to go
Car preformed faultless all trip even managed over 300 miles to a tank on the journey there including hitting the limiter in 6th on route
Clip from the GP track, camera only caught one of my first laps when I was learning the course though
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPCp52A-eMw
Car was looking a bit sorry for itself so I scrubbed off 1000miles of dirt and embedded flys today and fitted some fresh plates now I dont need the GB stickers
After
Will post up more pics once the wheels are on

Didnt realise how long its been since I updated this thread
car got rolling roaded
token pic
White wheels never made it onto the car as I got some wider rota boosts insted on there. Drives much better on them and they look ok
Also had a spoon n1 fitted on to improve the soundtrack a bit
standard box has to go on for track days though
Wheels were second hand and tatty when I bought then so sanded them back and attacked them with rattle cans
Came out well
Spoon n1 fitted on
Sound check = chavtastic nice bit of popping and flaming too when its hot
charger sounds good coming towards you too, didnt realise it was that loud
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXEv3F3Hu6I
Track days are on the cards more then last year so a few up grades were made in this part with a clockwise motion baffled sump insert and oil cooler set up from area motorsport
Big thanks to Warren at WG motorworx for help with the fitting
hose pipe ban ment it got a last proper clean too
