Dave, all you had to do was ask, and I'd have sold you the Beast. You didn't have to go to those lengths mate.... :wink:

Can't wait to see the new and improved Red B1tch. :twisted:

The new car looks nice already, if you were just planning on using all the bits off your old car why not just by a cheap na with stand wheels etc rather than pay alot for a mint tubby that you are going to rid of its engine, nice wheels etc.

Just my point of view but i think if you start with a turd it will always be a turd Plus i've always wanted an engine i can build up at my leisure, get right and swop when its done. I'll also have a full , low milage rev 3 clip for sale at the end of it for sale which will pay for the finishing touch i have planned :-$ .....Its my only car and its been costing a bomb in taxis for the wife as i took over her car which see only had the day befor the crash so i needed something fast an Dave only lives around the corner from me and i new it was a great car. It just seemed right :thumleft:

The line lock won't be fitted for a few months as i've got to transfer the ABS over from the black one to the red one as it hasn't got it and i'll fit it at the same time but i will post up picks when i do it.

Harry, Summit Raceing in the States is your friend for Shift light, choice of about 20 :thumleft:

I know, they fowl the dash the other way and its easyer to kill them where they are as you can bring your hand up and switch them off, Its hard to get your hand above them as the steering wheels in the way.
There only safty switches as the ones to activate the nos and line locks are on the steering wheel..................... :oldtongue:
