The strips are staying original too, it would be too much on an 850 to colour code those as well, and then the handles, roof trims, door mirror bases and surrounds would look out of place

imo you should take the paint off the bumpers mate, be true to your ethics Andy lol, it's not an s70

[AndysR]

yeah keeping this one 1st time ive had rods and ive spent an absolute fortune on it this year, ive never gone so far into modifying one from stock as this one

Well for all the stick you get for your efforts I sincerely hope you can rip the 1/4 up with it

you cant launch an auto hard without power starting, your car feels very quick because you havn't driven it in over a year, it was always quick, ive said that a few times my car feels quicker now blah blah blah then is no different on the strip lol

If the best way to launch an auto on the 1/4 is to power start then I guarantee I can get a better time than before because I didn't power launch it before

i tried and tested power launching on my old grey 850r with that tw map, best rpm to hold at with the brake was 1800rpms otherwise just to much wheelspin, you can probably get under 14 seconds then if you dared to try it
