do what me mate done...he's the one with the rx3 v8....got it dynoed with bald tyres, bad tuning ect, so that the power was [apparantly] 50kw. get the dyno printout, and take that everywhere. if its below 125kw/tonne, and cap/mass is below3.5l/tonnne, your home free. after the dyno is over,put it back to 'scary' spec...and dont get caught doing something stupid.
have fun.

-Power to weight ratio of more than 125kw per tonne or
