Won't happen, I have been there alot more times than him, plus he knows what happened to me so will be cautious!!

Saying that I've not been in the M3 yet, so I might be shit scared too lol.

Will be good, I can't wait now, it's such a beast

Lovely, any idea how much the whole thing has cost so far? Wouldn't mind a blast around a track in it.

Erm no idea to be honest Tony I will direct my mate to this thread to see if he wants to disclose it but it's a no expense spared project and I think looking around it you can see that!

If u ever see him or me on a trackday all you have to do is ask mate

Only thing I would change is probably space the vents on the bonnet out abit more but they still look great

The bonnet vents do actually serve a purpose as it was getting so hot under there not for looks

He's actually considering selling the turbo kit to go back to a KO4 Hybrid as he wasn't too happy with the power delivery at Snetterton. He said it wasn't as much fun as when it was KO4!

Heard a lot of people raving about regal and k04's lately with Astra VXR's. Good turbo k04's dead drivable! Mates edition 30 is on a k04 standard, moderate boost 300 horse it's such a nice drivable car.

Yeah that's what he misses. The boost on it now even at a bar is just too savage to properly put the power down mid corner

Rubbish, more power is always better. According to CS anyway....

The only thing he could do to help put power down is better tyres but he's already on AD08's which are fairly decent anyway, it's just limited by being FWD I suppose
