bag of shite really :lol: rattles and creaks, plenum is catching on the servo :x - that needs sorting also the exhausts are WAY too noisy! :shock: i think they are making it run rich - its still quick tho :twisted: but i havent had space to open it up fully yet - gonna bed it in slowly!
fuel pump is noisy too - although once i'd carpeted it backing it into the garage seemed a fair bit quieter :D and ive yet to add proper sound dedening :!:

still chuffed to bits tho :wink:
