i see that you're using the 165 intercooler, does that mean its also running the 165 wiring/ecu or has that all been convertd to 185? Also, whats the go with the suspension/driveline-lowered springs,new shocks, sway bars?running 165 gbox still? Cheers

I might add that the ST185 motor runs different compression to the ST165 motor! (8.8:1) So remember 98 octane only and be careful on hot days Then again, ST165s struggle with hot days even standard...
Oh yeah - someone buy this car! I mean it's not that hard to get a bank loan it took me all of a day when I wanted my GT4 and if you are half smart with your money you can have it all paid off in about 12 months. ST165s crap all over the standard 'more popular' ST185s (although the Carlos Sainz edition ST185 craps on the ST165).
