sound lads, im fixin the bumper up and then when i have a trackday ill take her off its only cable ties holdin it on!!!
sure had a go in it around the go kart track at work but was very tight,was in 2nd round the bottom bend and flicked it to the next bend an wasnt enough room an the bumper got a tipp on the apex!! great fun tho!!
Yeah got some lenso rs5 wheels for driftin wheels just got second hand tyres there for it at 20 euro for the 4 very good value, im goin fitting them in a bit and throwin the spacers onto the back of it too!!!
Im in 2 minds what to do with the drivers seat, ive the bride reclinable in the above pic which is comfy but i also have a recaro carbon fibre spg fixed bucket seat too that isnt so comfy but mite be better! what yee think?

My seat is a SPG replica or something very similar to one and I love it.

Also I'd be throwing the spacers on the front though, will help handling a bit

on the front?? i would have thought the wider a stance on the rear the smoother the driftin ? but if that works ill throw em on the front!! its all trial and error i suppose!!!

well lads put my new wheels on today think they look better than the others so i may leave the lensos on full time on the front and keep changing the rears!!! wont be able to use my spacers on the rear as the tyre will be hittin the arch unless i strech the tyre a bit!! heres a few pics!!
