chubbybrown 0 Posted October 24, 2004 thats a crackng looking motor welcome to the forum :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
'Rado 0 Posted October 24, 2004 The wheels are ACE 17" something or other - i wasnt really looking for a car that had been modified but this one happened to come along at a decent price and local to boot. Car has been lowered with Gmax springs and shocks - the ride is quite respectable - just need to get the blower sorted as it feels a bit sluggish - currently in talks with Darren about this :lol: Pete.
