lmao, yea dude id put the number plate back to the middle, the reason "ricers" do it is because their performance radiators are hanging out were the normal position of a no. plate is. so yeah got my vote for the middle. =p

That's a tidy ride you have there Nick. Grab yourself a cheap camera and take some progress shots for us. A picture speaks a thousand words, so that should save you some typing... 8)

Yeh im working on a vid, dunno what i can show but cause its doesnt make a 'huge' spool noise, and its quietened down the exhaust alot lol.

Im getting an EGT gauge shortly which will help me work out how much more fuel i can give it :)

Its so much better, pulls 10 times better on hills and when you load it up. Loves the boost so far :)

And nah i dont think i need anything daz, got a few spare motors here anyway. Ive just done the water pump and timing belt so hopefully will be trouble free for a while (not that its been a big trouble lol).
