CAP uppers, strut rods and alloy tie bars. Had to put my old C/E 3 ways back in as the calvert shock didn't quite work.

That was the first time we broke the beams with the back tyres, here's to many more occasions

Guess that vid pretty much debunks the bogus Moparts "stinkbug stance b.s." Nice car, nice launch, nice wheelie. VERY nice car.

that car didn't leave............it was thrown out.
Nice launch , but if it keeps up , you will have to start measuring your 68 foot times.
