Hi everyone

Thought i would sign up as heard it's a good forum. I'm based on the Isle of Wight and have been building my Mx for about a year now. It started off life as a very nice supercharged example but on the hunt for more power I opted to turbo resulting at 225whp

The car is mainly used for local autotests and track days with the sunny day blast :-)

Current brief spec

Blackcat Fabrication manifold and downpipe
VF28 turbo
Custom 2.5" exhaust
Custom intercooler setup
HKS SSQV
Gizmo boost controller set at 11psi
Meister R Coilovers
Yellow stuff pads all round
MTEC discs
Compotition Clutch stage 3
VX220 seats
Roll Bar
Personal steering wheel
15x7 et20 Rota Grid V
Toyo R1r Tyres
Voltex GT Type 1 carbon spoiler
APR carbon mirrors

The list continues

Anyway here's a few pictures

cheers

Matt
