Nice.. this one has a 1.8 VVC K sereis goes well enough, but can be a bit 'frisky' in the wet! mind you still on cart springs, but dows have a watts linkage and anti tramp arms. Bit of a 'sleeper'

I can imagine it will be really killer with a K18VVC but is it the 160ps or the 143ps one? And while your at it... get the VVC tweaked out by dave andrews of DVApower and unleash the fury at its fullest and make those sorry ass penispump M5 drivers cry.
