^^ not sure what you mean......but yes.
Its not quite cool enough yet, sure it has "nuff" stickers on it, big shiny thing on the front but does it have a single wiper or a sick install, the answer is no.

what there is of an install, ie nothing, is enough to make passengers feel sick though id imagine.
question is, who out of you and bux is going to get the 11 second run first................

well im just wondering why people are fitting pins to their standard bonnets is all.
no digs at anyone or anything - yeh for looks ok but i dont get it.
I'd rather jsut wait for my fibreglass one and fit them because i need to

saves walkign round and reaching in the drivers door to open the bonnet. plus, im guessing with phils, the catch wont be seure on to a removable piece of headlamp panel.

yep agreed my slam panel is removalable an i wuoldnt like ottrust a bonnet on that at 170mph, not that I trust the rest of the car a that speed.
There are three people capable of getting into 11s now in corsa if we pull our things out our arse. Although it appears all three of us have our corsa in peices lol

we shall see, only target is hit a low 130mph terminal pass for next year, main reason in geting it is to get some goodies like launch control ect..
Only reason ive gone megasquirt is im doing it all myself an its cheap because im cheap.

you have the workshop and rollers i guess, wish i had access to such cool toys on a regular basis. to work in a place like that must be fuckin cool. better than looking at tyres all day long............
will hopefully read what your getting up to with it, its always interested me, as your car, and you, are quite clearly mental. and thats a good thing.
