    glenn that looks really good and if it sees some gains then its a win win, out of interest have you fount that the standard inlet has become restrictive at a certain power level or psi ?

    10 points to anyone who spotted the the cage had to be modified once glenn realised he couldn't fit in the car anymore Que us cutting out the middle bar and replacing it with a curved one so he could get the seat further back. It's a great shell, the straightest GT I've seen for a long time.

    Had them for probably 1-2 years, not quite got round to fitting them, a member used to do them but there not original and not replicas there just a close resemblance really lol. I think your new purchase would look great with some originals but i kno there expensive now still looks fantastic without would love an original looking 5.
