tidy looking car - lot of effort gone in in a short time there

Dont believe in putting badges on a car that aren't deserved - it is why iu didn't but 180 ones on the derv myself as i only made 170 on it....

Maybe one day i'll fit 200 badges on it though lol

Its badged as a 180 because I wanted it to be a proper repica but now iv fitted them not sure, think I might swap them for 160 badges off a TF160, as it is now upto TD160 spec

No mate, I wanted more than 140 bhp, So I mapped it myself as im a Reidy agent

As above, wanted it to be a full on replica but might swap them over..

Nice looking car, needs an ATC conversion though!
Good job in the headlights. Mine lasted all of two days while the compound filling the scratches wore away!

How much of a ballache would an ATC conversion be?

The headlights are still ok at the min but im expecting to go back to how they were, I will proper sort them one weekend and lacquer over the top, too cold now days though

Coupled with a remap and supporting mods, 50-60 bhp

Haha, 200 bhp would be nice, just need to find a good turbo choice! What turbo you running on yours at the min? Hybrid isnt it? Or is it VNT? I cant be arsed with VNT I just want a decent wastegated turbo, dont want loads of lag though, iv heard from people running hybrids that they are coming in at 2200 rpm, that would do my nut in! Would be a very smokey car to try and make it spool earlier too!

There will be more to come mate, on the look out for some decent seats now, alcantara or full leathers.. Also a decent suspension set up, not sure whether to go coilovers or lowering springs yet though...
