    I've been waiting for you to post this up.

    Looks fantastic, should make for an excellent track weapon.

    What are your plans?

    Plans for the minute are quite straightforward.

    i've got some Yoko A048 track tyres coming for it, and intend to get on track either dec or Jan (funds permitting)

    depending on how it performs we'll individualise it, and if it's too slow (feels awesome on the road) we'll VVC it.

    Short term mods it needs are an exhaust but i've ordered a manifold too.

    really good fun, extremely good roads olding, even on **** tyres, and just soooo cheap.

    just nice to have a car i can abuse and not worry about.
