Fair enough Cody, at least we know what your new one won't be!

[insane*mini]

Yea, hopefully It'll be a shiny new 06' or 07'! Can't wait till I can actually motor!

Hope it's soon, you'll love it whether it's turbo or supercharged.

By the time most people in the states get to see a GP, they will be long sold. My dealer has only one left.

Here you go then.

Its running around 235bhp btw..... and will soon have a little more.... its a JCW with bigger crank pulley, manifold, re-map, courtosy of GTT.

Great car Tony! Isn't that Thunder Blue?

Never going to go that far in power with mine, lack of intestional fortitude. I think your posts about the GP are pretty spot on, except that I like the different look of it. It works out to a pretty cheap way for me to get all the JCW packages from the factory. I used to do hotrodding back years ago, installed turbo's on engines before waste gates or regulators. We knew we had too much boost when the big ends of the rods came through the oil pan.

If bought new would cost a packet. As you know I picked it up cheap though, so actually cost less than a GP. But than again its not new....


Do you think i should put a 'GT0001' sticker on the roof...

Tonyt3 - with all the track days that you do with your S im quite surprised you
have 18" wheels, they look heavy! Ever thought you would be better with a
lightweight 17" wheel?

Sorry for swaying off topic.

Hi Willie,
those wheels are just for the road. I have a set of team Dynamic Race Pro 1's (17") with Toyo R888 track rubber for serious driving days!

Running a track day outing at Bedford Autodrome next Bank Holliday weekedn (Sat 27th) if your interested (see link in signature)

p.s the difference in weight is unbelievable btw, and performance is suitably improved....

regards
Tony

You should put Chav 001 judging by your new front spoiler.
