Looks lovely!
It has also cemented in my mind that debadged wings are the way forward!
I'm going to leave the ///M badge to begin with but I think that will be going as well!
What mechanical differences are there between the entry level 2.0 Turbo and the 28i? If we end up at a meet together I'll happily take you for a quick blast, the 28i is plenty fast enough in every situation, I think it's faster than the 3.0(?).

Hi Steve, no engine differences between the cars at all-the only difference being the 28i has slightly larger front discs.
I've seen remaps advertised that take the 2litre cars to 300bhp

DMS have told me they'll get 310bhp out of it on a perfectly safe map. They believe the 0-60 will go from 5.3/5.5 (depending on where you read) to 4.8. It's a quick car now but under 5 seconds is seriously quick in my opinion.
Racechips do a box which again, takes it to a tad over 300bhp and they'll give you a 2 year engine warranty so they're confident the engine can take it!

Impressive gains, I'm guessing big gains are possible for the 6 pot turbos too

Yeah, I think NASA are using one of those for the mars mission :lol:
