Thats looking good mate, do like the front end.

So when you back at the pod to crack that first 13 mate?

[scratcher]

Thats a tidy cut out on the front bumper Very nice

[gttjames]

Did the cut and most the prep myself.

Yer im more of a fan of oe r5's - not keen on bodykits on them atall. But wanted to do something with the ic, instead of going silly big i thought id do that, looks spot on i reckon and can still mount a number plate if need be. And smoothed the bump strip, looks alot better without those.

Would run it at usc but il only get 3 runs, might just wait till pod next year and try cracking that 13, only .1 is needed lol, my goal is a 13 and 100+ terminal speed, managed a 14.1 at 99mph lol close.

And benj i hope reem is good lol, im young thought id be down with the slang but obviously not lol

If you wanted to go mate i'll be camping up there this year, think few of us are in the club camping area. I know its not the best show (not really there for that) but on the friday as its abit quiet some years i've done 6+ runs. Would have done more but didn't want to pay anymore.
Think they've upped it to 4 runs per day now too.
