    Throttle response sounds to be very prompt.
    When the throttle is wide the sound is the deep roar/rumble of a LSx V8

    What RPM are you revving upto...?

    There's alot of machinery whine which I take it is the dyno.

    I have GOT to copy this car !!!! I'm thinking least expensive base model 318 or 323 and rip everything out
    most of those issues could be resolved with a Race Pack Gauge set. If the ABS kicks in it means that you
    should have used more throttle. I'm LOVING this.

    I love this car B) I needed to go into brum earlier & left it parked in a side street, when I walked back to the car it just looked aggressive I walked past it & then back from the other way just so I could look it some more.... Not sure if it makes me a bit odd tho? I wanted to take a pic but felt like a twat so didn't lol

    Popped into DynoTorque on the way back for a cuppa & cause the car keeps leaving lines.... Craig thinks it may be impossible to fix.....

    My fav pic of the car to date

    After my last post I started thinking doesn't the 3 series platform
    have almost the same specs as the GTO ??
    Rear Wheel Drive
    Independent Rear Suspension
    Strut Front suspension
    Rack & Pinion Steering

    But a GTO already has an LS1 or LS2

    Beautiful work. How are you dealing with the ABS light and VSC issues? Curious.

    What's VSC?

    I have removed the ABS & I had the pump was leaking and we thought that was the cause the cause of my braking issues but it wasn't, so I will get another unit at some point.
