	I'm almost certain we nearly crashed into each other in a small village near Colcester, you had Myke in the passenger seat. Unless that wasn't you and I've made a complete idiot out of myself. Either way, looks like its gonna be even more mental with the v6!

	The front end does look brilliant with the look you've got going. It's going to be a laugh with that lump in it, eagerly awaiting more updates!

	Well if its updates you want.... Sold the 13" compomotives to make room for these nice and lightweight 15x8's made by 949Racing Shod at the moment with some nexen n2000 tyres but no doubt ill pick some slicks up for proper use. They come in nice and light at only 5.2KG and fit like this (baring in mind these are on a 225/50/15)

	A mew subframe was also needed to fit the new engine so Claire at Crapengineering provided just the right thing!! here is its compared to the OEM article and fitted (excuse the manky steering rack)

	A custom sump also needed to be made that cleared the subframe and stering rack but also was big enough to have enough capacity to feed the engine and both the turbos. as such you can see here the dipstick tube and the turbo drains ready on each side. and fitted and custom pick up tube The sump and the pickup both again made by claire at crapengineering.
