    Bought a fibreglass otr off ebay a couple of weeks ago and i gotta say, these dont just bolt on as easy as you would think well mine didnt anyway. I was aware that i had to extend the temp senser but i had to make lots of other alterations eg: massacre the radiator shroud with angle grinder, relocate a heap of wires that run on top of the shroud. Thought i was all done when i come to realise i couldnt shut the bonnet. Then realised i had to lower my air conditioner core to bring the otr lower which is not a good job. I thought maybe mine was just dodgy but was later told about a high end one being the same.
    Anyway i havent had my tune touched up yet but the car does feel good, the throttle response is now instant and dosnt hesitate to rev.

    Just throwin it out there
