Hey Ben, what's with the little lip under the bumper bar? is that stock?
Does it come off, or is it part of the bosy moulding?

its a bit of plastic body kit i believe they intended it to aid cooling as it points air up to the rad , it does work too as one of mine ran noticably hotter while i had this bit off my red car has got the optional extra front skirt that goes with this middle bit , absolutely rare as rocking horse now as not many bothered with it

All you need to do now is remove the overboost valve (thing next to throttlebody) and plug up the hole.. then turn up the boost a little .. maybe 11-12 psi. (not worthing running more with standard turbo) I think with that overboost valve that you can't run more than 9psi boost.

We need to find all 30 owners and have a N12 day at Santa Pod!!!!!

Sounds good to me, I've built one specifically for sprints & hillclimbs :wink:

No doubt a few of us 30 actually own more than one as I do - I have 3!!!

Spend all that time and cash on rebuilding the engine just to go blow it on the strip.
