This is a picture of the other 2 cars i went to the ring with, a 2005 Honda Civic Type R and a Dodge Ram SRT-10, 8.3Litres of pure power! Not that great round corners though!

Post by: martin-gti on 01 February 2012, 17:56: Hi all, just thought i'd update this thread as ive done a few more bits to the car!

Ive now added R32 side skirts and a genuine Anni Rear valence from a diesel which behind that is a discreet cat back non resonated milltek which i love!
Rear wiper has been totally removed which i feel smooths the rear end up a treat.

Under the bonnet ive now got a pipercross panel filter in a drilled and smoothed airbox, plus ive added a forge 007p dv.

So happy with my car at the moment, thinking about getting some wheel spacers and my windows tinted.

any feedback good or bad would be appreciated please :)

here are some up to date pictures!
