    IMHO in the looks department, 512TR > Testa > 512M. But looks are so subjective that to each his own.

    Having said that, I hated the looks of the 512M, until I saw one in the flesh. Pictures never do that car justice.

    I have. The 512M updates the Testas looks... and makes it look current.
    In fact, I started the job back in 1999. I converted the rear of the car with the exception of the engine cover. After I sold the car in 2003, Tuck the current owner, took it to the next level...converting the front, the engine cover and the interior.

    my friend, since you have so much time and resources to exchange exhausts, maybe you can just 'pick' it up and convert back to testa look?

    Tuck, you're one crazy fellow. Spent so much time, effort & money to mod it then less than 1000kms later & you're selling it....

    I saw it in the showroom a few times over the week when I passed by. Hope it finds a good home soon ;)

    Want to join the darkside? Instant pass to the "Sinful Club" :D

    Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.. factoring the number of pieces worldwide, i would say its an art. Besides the last traded for the 512M were SGD500K

    Tuck,

    Just saw the air intake mod you are doing in the TR forum. Hadn't realised that this was the same car. Now the penny drops about your vision for this TestaM :). Think you should call it the Testa*le, because it takes b*lls to modify an Fcar this much :). It's a wonder Zertec finds trousers that fit :).

    The air intake mod looks fantastic - amazing craftmanship. Would be great to hear about how much/if it improves performance.

    Regards,
    RB.
