I'm in Newmarket, and thanks mate. Got a lot more to do with it. Next step down pipe and fuel pump to go stage 2, and you where you located?

I got the APR carbon fiber CAI. So it's not to far of a ride to you from where I'm at... Any good meets or anything out that way?

Did you get the rear indicators sorted out? They flash the brake lights don't they, front what I saw in the states. That is illegal here :(

Out of curiosity, how did you do it? It is a shame as I like the brake lights as indicators.

Welcome to the UK and the forum... how did you get your car here? was it not massively expensive?
