I also had to change insurers, because of the mods, and the new insurance I found is slightly cheaper than what I had before! £445 fully comp is way below what I expected.
The figures: 376bhp and a tyre shredding 740nm torque.
You'll be going through a few clutches then! :-)
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
