You have no idea, i couldn't move my fingers for about 3 days afterwards. I fitted the downpipe at the same time and as is common it was touch and go as to weather the O2 sensor was gona strip the thread or come out cleanly, luckily it did as they are pretty pricey and availability is not good.

Hmm, bigger hammer neede methinks. Solves all problems known to man. If it doesn't work - hit it. If it works when you don't want it to - hit it. If it's in the way - hit it hard.... Seriuosly though, great looking car and some good mods in there!

As for power i'm not sure on the figures i would have thought that it would be closer to 310 but wanted to remain conservative so as not to get burned by anyone, i dont know you all yet ! No, seems pretty quiet over there, haven't been on for a while. Welcome to MPSOC
