    Not yet... still waiting for tax and the exhaust needs adjusting as it's banging. It's also spluttering when coming on to boost, and a few other small jobs (hopefully) need doing...
    Vid coming soon :)

    Thanks for the comments. :)
    I love the 4.3 CWP :) The accelaration is brilliant, it spins the wheels when it comes onto boost in 1st 2nd and 3rd gear without the clutch and the boost is still is only at 7psi.
    The speed limits are lower here in Thailand too, most places are only 80kms an hour, with a few toll ways/motorways being 120kms an hour. So the 4.3 is perfect.

    That is a really nice car! Cool addition of the AC, I bet you need it!!!

    Put 14PSI of boost through it and i'll spin all 5 gears ha
    I prefer it without the stripes though :)
