Hi All!
My names Nathan, and thought as would sign up after buying the very car pictures above.
Quite a tasty spec list on the car mainly consisting of:
Dave F induction kit
GP larger inter cooler
Jasma manifold and decat
Big Valve head
Upgraded Camshaft
17% reduced supercharger pulley
550cc injectors
Mishimoto Radiator
Remap
One Ball exhaust mod
M.S.D coil and lead kit
M.S.D earthing kit
Full L.E.D conversion inside and out
I’m unsure of the power, but it is seriously rapid! Comparing it to other R53’s, I would say it’s putting out around 230hp or so?
Since having the car, I’ve given it a full detail and ceramic coating, a full service and a couple of track rod ends. I’m planning to tackle the supercharger oil next and then get a set of sticky tyres in the spring. The clutch is a little heavy but still bites grand, but my Father owns Wexford Transmission Services here so I will definitely be getting him to fit an LSD when the box gets removed. I also have a carbon fiber bonnet vent and front grills on the way for it.
Hope you all like it
