Well today I had a phone call with some fantastic news a nice chap called dave phoned me up and asked if he could feature my car in performance French car magazine in September what a way to brighten up my day

**PaulM** · 01-07-2011, 10:27

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

And well deserved to Philip

**scratcher** · 08-07-2011, 01:21

I love the car Phil

I've just been playing around with a few pics of it from Pod.
Well done on the magazine feature bud

**philr5t** · 08-07-2011, 12:48

Cheers scratcher that's a cracking picture just need to lower it and get a nice set of euro deep dish wheels on it but don't think I'll have the cash to get some wheels before the mag shoot

**rs250nut** · 09-07-2011, 17:16

Real nice Phil

Gutted I did not make the pod

**pascal-GT** · 09-07-2011, 18:15

very very nice!!!!

you have the other videos?

**scratcher** · 11-07-2011, 02:16

Cheers mate. I redone it, the windscreen was wrong before

I was going to say it could go lower at Pod.
A nice set of Lenso BSX would look lovely... or splash out on some real BBS RS

**philr5t** · 08-09-2011, 22:27

Well my thread has been a bit quiet lately but the car seems to be running really well now fitted my aem gauge and it's running very rich still but was very impressed as I had my first road race today with an 11 plate Audi a5 3.0 v6 which is 240 bhp and nearly 370 lb of torque and I left it like it was standing still and at only 14 psi so very pleased so far and just looking forward to putting it on the rollers now and seeing what power I get

**car.crash** · 08-09-2011, 22:27

looks awesome, is that protected by gard-x?

**philr5t** · 09-09-2011, 00:28

Lol sorry mate completely forgot about bringing one up for you shall I bring it to ace cafe meet mate

**philr5t** · 03-10-2011, 22:11

And then it went BANG at 14psi not pulled it apart yet but I'm guessing head gasket
