Would never want to live anywhere else, so worthit .

Blazed: your car , is DOPE. keep up the good work, thanks for the comments

Jay_Dee_Em: make a build thread, ive gotten some killer constructive critisism just by post what my plans were.


Thanks guys, i'm going to be diving in to the brake tuck this weekend. Can anybody tell me what those fitting that people use to go trough the fire wall are called? want to pick some up. Hopefully will be scoring parts tomorrow or the next day, ie my manual EG steering rack, my EG strut forks, and my type S intermediate shaft. thanks for all the comments guys should have some posts after this weekend.
