Great finish mint job

uk dave · 06 Jul 2009, 06:02 PM

Lee`s mk2 made 380bhp +415lb/ft of torque last friday, had it running over 400 but dropped it to 380 to create a smoother power curve that were more useable for a rwd car power came in "relatively" all at once not as progressive as you`d like-whilst its spinning the wheels it aint goin nowhere.

Spoke to lee early saturday morning an he were dissapointed it dont spin the rears up without trying-saying based on what the car can handle power wise so far its definately goin to be a 500bhp car before long.

He`s got a problem with it either missing or fuel starvation something along those lines anyway-know its goin bk sometime this week to be sorted-however lee took me a spin in it the other night an fcuk me its quick/noisy/scary lol-permanent grin material-were about crying with laughin when i got out of it but for a rwd dont half grip on a standing start from the lights-amazingly its equally at home being driven steady as lee took me a spin round town after.

Car were a right crowd puller where we hang out at night-all of a sudden there were a load of boy racers we dint know pretty much dumbstruck by it-will get a vid sorted at some point.

Excuse my french, not a Ford man generally as you know but that looks f***ing awesome.

Must look incredible in the flesh. He must be absolutely chuffed to bits with that, and if it goes anything like it looks like it should must be an absolute beast. That would scare the s**t out of me if it appeared in my rear view mirror.:lol
