Nah it was a friday night on my way home from work.

Anyways I dropped it off last night to Peak to be told I'm a f/*kwit and I need to learn to drive I replyed with why cant you make this car strong enough to take some abuse? .

Motor is getting rebuilt. Installing C & C machined 8.5:1 Forge pistons, connecting rod bolts, triple metal layered headgasket, camshafts, lifters, valves, head stud bolts, and the head is getting ported and polished. Photos will be up soon of parts (new and shiny)

Also getting a ignition boost for a stronger spark aswell as installing my Noltec engine and rear control arm bushes. (finally) Also installing a tailshaft loop.

Meanwhile my tailshaft is getting made up through Metropolitan Driveshafts to hold 600+hp.

Once all done I will be running it in....then tune time! Got told it should be running round 15-18psi. So fingers crossed for some nice figures...400hp at the wheels would be nice

Agree ... some of the plate colours around these days look bad but mainly because some people must be colour blind or not into matching colours. The car will be very deserving of those plates.

Good choice of colour combo. I upgraded my plates recently to silver on black as well.
