Hi,

The HKS hard pipe kit was part of the FQ320 upgrade, so I didn't have to put that on...but to be honest, I haven't even discovered where the BOV is...can anyone enlighten me? The wheels are nice, and stay looking clean for a while.

Cheers,

Matt

I like that Carbon Fiber heat shield...I wonder if I could get my hands on one of those.

What does that switch by the intercooler sprayer switch do? The toggle, I mean...and that other piece that's near it.

Prices for cars do not convert like that. Although the UK seem to allow every car in the world to be sold there, get ripped off on the price of cars. Check the price difference between identical cars sold in the US vs, the UK to see the difference.

200bhp shot of nos! not really...it's my anti-hijack. I'm not 100% sure how it works yet, so I'm preparing for some very embarassing moments involving me stopped at traffic lights and my car shutting down and screaming blue murder!

Not only that, but european countries pay mega huge taxes on high end cars compared to their already high taxes on regular cars. Plus the cost of petrol, you have to make quite the living to own a E.VIII there.

Damn, nice car! Do they sell that HKS hard pipe kit separately in the UK? No one in the US seems to carry it.

yes, the HKS kit is available from main dealers as an official upgrade for the standard MR, or you can get it from an HKS dealer if you don't care about warranty and the like.

Cheers,

Matt

the daylight pics are on page 2. The spoiler is that colour cos it's an MR...it's the way it comes (it's quite a nice metallic actually). The horse has been removed from the back end (it was the sign of my dealer)...but the rest makes it look perfect.
