loved the steering feel, it really has a great setup these cars.... Such an awesome basis for modification, whether it be base level or to the sky and beyond!

...anyone for tea and biscuits?

I hope the wing slogan doesnt reflect the owners intelligence.

Nice colour though.

He does NOT have solid engine and gearbox mounts (unless it's been changed and the wheelwell page never got updated)! Either the owner got it wrong or Matt got it wrong, but if you look at his wheelwell page from the video link, it states the car's got RE street transmission mounts and VT street engine mounts - these are far from being solid mounts.

I can't imagine solid mounts are good at all!! Thanks for letting me know :thumbsup:

If he had solid mounts, Matt would have said something at engine startup I think :lol: .

tbh I think its a pretty useless car as a 'weekend car', as he's scraping all over the pavement when he tries to make a turn to head back.
You really have to pick your route when you want to go somewhere.
Where I live this car would be totally useless with that low splitter with all the speedbumps here.

Looks like a cool car that somebody has built to suit their own tastes / needs.

Sounds lovely too! Got to love the S54!

I just took mine in for an MOT and they were revving it up to just hear it! Not a problem for me :)

Nice
Liking colour and probably a wrap to be fair
The wing is a no no hahah
I think he meant race or fast road mounts haha solid wouldn't do anything for chassis nor the mounts I guess
