How it looks at the min with its new wheels wrapped in ns2r rubber in soft compound and h&r rss suspension

Got to order a LSD and clutch and fly  and it will nearly be ready for the track!

The tyres are 235/40/18 ns2r with an 8x18 et 45 team dynamics 1.2.

I know the tyres arnt quite 888 standard but at 1/2 the price and not a bad review i thought they were worth a go!!

not been on here for ages and a fair amount has progressed with the car, all the work has been carried out by myself, I do have a lot of build pics but its driven me nuts to remember how to use a forum so if anyones intrested they are on my Instagram (obese5)

Just read your thread from the start, lovely build this. And quite amusing at the same time seeing you change direction with it so much!

Best example of just how good Laser Blue can be I've seen
