Thanks, was dribbling over your AP's yesterday at Brunters, car looks lovely!

Head gasket going on a jdm is almost unheard of, bl00dy typical :roll:

Expensive bloody things those AP's but stop the car incredibly well especially on track. Never had any brake fade or boiling fluid despite the many laps we did back to back so impressed. I know the RB320 started getting brake fade after a few laps but his solution was to stop using them so much :)

Must admit ive never heard of a head gasket going on a JDM, you sure its a JDM? :lol:

Not surprised those brakes held up well, even the rear disks are almost as big as my wheels, very nice :norty:

I hope it's a JDM :lol: was running lovely until loss of power and loads of white smoke out the back. Running on 3 cylinders when I pulled over and smelt very burny, low loaded home and dumped it in the garage, it's only got 16k miles on the clock :(

Oh well, WRC Germany Thursday with the ESC (in their Focus RS's), will worry about it when I'm back, I'm gonna be very skint soon :)

Lucky escape if you ask me! Would never ever buy another car from him, wish I'd never heard of that company, won't post anything else about it as I'm sure his 'fanboys' will see this and cause more problems.

Cheers for the comments, looks nice doesn't it!

Don't open the bonnet though, was soooo much more than a headgasket failure! It's still off the road due to the lying turd I bought it from :mad:
