I know some people who still use 56k, it's a 2.0 btw, but one of the future plans is some kind of forced induction.bounce

Actually, remove the silly front splitter, the vinals on the front lights, and fit some slightly smaller more chunky wheels and it wouldnt be that bad. For a "chavvy" car the workmanship is very good biggrin

Might not be to everyone's tastes but I like it. On the brakes issue, no point at them moment since engine is pretty much standard, but eventually some ST hubs and big brakes will go on. The tires I ordered with the wheels were Toyo T1R's but the order got messed up and I recieved Fullruns instead, thier not that bad in the dry, but shockingly bad in the wet though eek Now I've got some Toyo's on the front.

Try Falken 452 if you can. I was a big Toyo T1R fan, but I have tried a set of the 452s and even better for similar price! smile

Don't you know? Readers' Cars is like Readers' Wives. You don't post nice looking ones in either. I might start a new thread for my shed.

I did say what engine it was further up. I will try the Falken 452's, I guess I just have to wait till these are illegal.
