Upgrades

Post by Mandy » Sun Oct 29, 2006 9:03 am

ok, the offical handover of Mac's car to me happened on Friday evening - so to let the world know I've made some minor alterations

(photo "stolen" from John Reid - thanks John :D )

Just need to find where Mac has "hidden" 10bhp and 15lbf.ft of torque! There's also a nasty wee dip at 2000-2500 rpm and the car does feel like it is missing - any ideas?

So who likes the enhancements?

The stripes are great Mandy. :thumbsup Silver was definitely the right choice . . . I think white would have been too much against your shade of blue.

Is it just me, or does it look like Ed is climbing out of Mandy's boot? Did he go for a wee nap in there to get rid of the hangover and the noise of the engine woke him up? :lol: :lol: :lol:
