Not much can beat a properly cleaned diablo.

Does look the works! Was getting dark by the time we took the pictures so some didn't turn out to well!


Forgot to say i fitted a new back box as the straight through pipe was rotten! No difference in performance and no more farting sounds!!!!

[Frosty]

I do think ph3s look good in diablo. Looks like a nice car tbf and the challengers suit it nicely

Many plans performance wise?

There growing on me slowly . They come up nice with a polish and wax!

Just blanked off the egr! Which makes me wonder if it ever had a stage 1. I may be getting my self a fmic next week! Got a boost gauge with fuel pressure gauge coming in the post! I want her to be putting out a good 170 on a stage 2 map.

There's something that'll definitely finish it off, gti splitter! Sits at a nice height to, really miss my 5 door diablo they polish up so good

Its ok got a few problems, one been the clutch cable the other been how stupidly low it is. But the main problem is vibration on low rpm, doing my head in. Will need to look at the condition of the drive shaft the weekend.
