Great job Alex.

Some nice figures there buddy.

Should be a different car to drive.

Again, the quality of Richies and Simons works at PAW is second to none 8-)

Go enjoy some Vtec :!:

Cheers Dino,

I think PAW deserve the praise as they did all the hard work! I just collected the parts, asked some stupid questions and paid some money :)

Got to drive her today! :D

The difference is amazing! Pick up on the motorway is really good, and the acceleration is definately 'more brutal' just need to get the power down now as it spins up the wheels way easier :shock:

Can't wait for my 7am drive to work in the morning :)

your going to have to put some thought into rubber now :D
Darn good work there and good solid figures for the mods. A nice collection of geekery :ugeek: 8-)

I always look forward to picking up vehicles from PAW. the whilte one has not been driven more than 300yards since its last visit and I am getting a list of works together for when rich to do when slaps an MOT on it :lol:

your going to have fun with that engine :twisted:

Yep, I think so too. I've got some conti SC3's on the front at the moment so haven't got junk on it but it still spins them up in 1st when the vtec kicks in :shock:

I'm looking forward to someone in a focus ST, CTR and the like to rock up on my bumper now :)

I wish I lived 300yards from PAW but unfortunately I'm 70 miles away :( but it does make for a good drive home :D

Glad you enjoyed your drive home Alex, had a feeling you would 8-)
Pleased that you have noticed how strong it is through the mid range, this is something we always try to work on rather than just going all out for peak figures...makes for a quicker car overall :)

E-mail on it's way shortly ;)
