Matt's turbo 5EXI

Hi everyone.

This is Matt's 5EXI. Done to perfection. Lots of rear bodywork for larger width rear wheels. Chargecooler setup.

I'll let the pictures do the talking!:icon_mrgreen:















Come and say hi Matt.

A very good effort - certainly makes mine look like a bodge!

The brakes look like MGF AP-racing calipers. It'll be interesting to see what the balance is like, as the rears look like standard 240 / 260mm brakes, and even with 260 front and rear I have to dial the fronts down.

Running 16PSI (standard 11.7) due to a ECU boost removal chip. Running I would say about 250BHP ish.:icon_mrgreen:

Forgies on order!

Quality build.

Bodywork mods (arches, lights & the side ducts especially) look supercool....underdstated but businesslike.

Colour is really nice...wheels go well....looks like a proper job.

What's it drive like?

Handling? Suspension phase 1, 2 or hybrid?

Brakes....share Jon's view on brake balance....bigger back discs needed (I would think)....

...and who is Matt....never seen or heard of him on Madabout? Where does he live?

And the car looks even better in the flesh.

When it comes to body time, that's where I'll be taking it.

Very nice work on the body Matt. Same sort of colour I'm planning for mine when it eventually gets painted!
