greenstuff are quite highly rated on the owners club,havent found them to be a problem,but there getting low now,and arnt as good,so will be upgrading to redstuff.unless anyone has a spare set of fto calipers,and clio cup discs......steering wheel was free,and is great to use,although id rather it black.oh well!

yes,my exact definition of a sleeper. i love the fact that people have no idea what my car is,what engine it has etc.i must admit i have my eye on a bit of 'show' at the moment.but who can say no to a nissan motorsport europe magnesium cam cover?
