very nice mate!
getting there lol

was your engine a 998? or 1380?

[mattdc2r]

Very nice. Good luck with them Saxo's , but to be honest, with the amount of work you're putting into this project i'd just leave them to continue their Burnouts in Maccies. Not worth running the risk of crashing whilst racing.

[arnie_14]
