Thanks. Thought I'd get my wife something more discreet than a blue winged monster with gold wheels.

Silver FQ320 with a 'few' extra horses courtesy of Ralliart will do. :wink:

Now I still need the winscreen wipers, the carbon mudflaps from Scott Lowe and I need to put that bloody muffler back in place. I am nearly deaf driving it from Heathrow to Stevenage this evening ! :freak:

Yes. Although it's indeed much more tiring than the scoob and I am not into throwing it around yet.

What surprised me was the pick-up in 6th gear on the motorway. Doodle around at 70... sneeze... open your eyes and see the speedo at 130 :shock: Complete lack of feel of speed also compared to the scoob even.

Defo feels much more like a rallycar than our STi. Looking forward to what the guys at Ware garages will do to it ! :woohoo:

Sorry I had to shoot out that quick, Woza. I was only at a meeting at a local pharmaceuticals company from 8 til 10, dropped the car off in Ware and then blasted to the airport.
Back on 10-7 to pick it up. I'll drop you a line earlier. If you fancy a go then... :ok:

Need to try it without the muffler in Hatfield tunnel. Already bangs nicely now on lift-off. When decat'ed it should definitely be 8)

Keep working, Dan. You need to save for a GT3. None of us has one yet !

Love it too. Made me realise an Evinrude engine might have been more useful than the MIVEC. :wink:
