My 52 bug eye

Hi all just thought I'd share a few quick pics of my new car! It's currently running about 340bhp (according to my dad who I bought it off, I assume this is at the flywheel). It's had a K&N panel filter, a full turbo back decat system (I don't know the make) and a Bob Rawle remap. It's looking fairly standard but then again I quite like that!







P.S sorry for the poor picture quality!

Nice..needs some new alloys ASAP
BHP is always a flywheel reading in the UK
If you venture on to the American sites they always go off wheel horse power WHP
Probably the only thing they do better than us over here

Ah right I always wondered when you quote whp instead of at the flywheel! Yes new alloys are a priority also a forge dump valve I think! I was wondering wether the bbs alloys from a widetrack blob or hawk would fit this?

No bud they won't fit they have a different PCD unfortunately..

Ah crap! Oh well. Maybe some rota Tarmacs or something like that then! Ill be having a good look for inspiration at the NBO like :p I think I fancy the dump valve first anyway :p

Yeaa get the dump valve on and fook the dump valve haters

Yea man! I've wanted one of those as long as I can remember and it's purely for that sound! I know it's sad but I'm not bothered!
