'Confirmed Kills'

Vauxhall Insignia SRi (2015 CDTI - 150bhp??) - Joining M1 southbound at Leeds. An easy kill

Audi A1 TFSI S-Line (twin exhaust model - 148bhp??)  Wakefield Junction 41 dual carriageway.

Golf Mk7 GTD estate (177bhp??)  Tingley/White Rose dual carriageway.

BMW 118d (2015 possibly?)  again on the Tingley/White Rose dual carriageway, different day.

BMW 120d M-Sport kit (2018) Off M62 onto Tingley/White Rose dual carriageway (this was very close though!!!)

Audi Q7 V6 TDI (2012 - 225bhp??)  M1 slip road off M62 interchange. He had better launch off lights but I clawed him back!

Those are the ones I can remember but there have been a few more

Possible future modifications:

• Glass-fibre insulate ‘hot side’ of turbo, DPF & downpipe. (reduce under-bonnet temps)
• DIY alloy plate turbo/dpf heat shield.
• Removal of bonnet insulator and engine cover. (allow heat to dissipate quicker) Insulator now removed.
• Intercooler spray system. (Julian Edgar advice/knowledge for water option efficiency) Completed, see above.
• More Air! Slight front grill modification for less restrictive air intake via the snorkel.
• Under-tray modifications for better airflow/less back pressure through intercooler. (extra holes?)
• Nitrous Oxide injection system. 25 - 50hp
• Tyre painting logos.
