Following a recent trip to Black Rock Sands in Wales with a few other petrol heads the PPF on the turbo was in need of replacement. I took it back to REEP in Leicester and they replaced the PPF and detailed the car for me.
I picked it up last week and was gob snacked when I saw it. This car is nearly 11 years old now (3 years in my ownership) and it"s still looking fresh. I've owned a lot of cars in my time ranging from Abarth 500 to Nissan r35 GT-R, M3's to Supercharged VXR8's, Landrover Discovery's to AMG's and nothing has held my attention like this car. This is the first car I have ever owned for more than 2 years in the 20 years I've been driving.
Like most things that give great pleasure the cost is excessive at times but somehow the turbo always seems worth it? In my ownership it's had brakes, clutch, exhaust, winter wheels/ tyres, DSC module, 2 trips to REEP,a front end respry, lowering springs, Dension bluetooth module and gallons of high octain fuel.
I have a road trip to Italy planned for later this year with some mates in decent motors,but I wouldn't swap the turbo for any of them. I genuinely can't think of a car i would swap it for right now.
I can't see me ever wanting to sell it. This thing has really got under my skin!
It's a rare thing to meet your child hood dream and it actually be better than you imagined. What a machine!
