Thumbs up

In that case it sounds amazing. How is it done? Is the original head bored out or is it a completely different engine?

I knew GP's lost alot of money but not that much. Does the gear box or anything need changing due to higher power?

I paid 250 pounds, yes they are 17s but they seem to look very small on the r56
