aye great for the festivals dude!

its running a fully balanced 2165cc with webber 40's, (18 sec 1/4 mile!)

my bus is getting rollin roaded at raceshack next week, so hopefully after the tuning session it'll run a quicker time at the santa pod raceway in april!

I was going to ask if the rev counter was some form of irony..... after the next few pictures I realised it wasn't
