Better be quick then :p I have about two months before I'll need the money from this. My friend Tom is having it by then if no one buys it as then I'll still be able to see it everyday/buy it back when he's done with it

low hanging exhaust? quick trick i just learnt

inb4 slowpoke if its already a common issue solver. anyway, most 340 exhaust hang a bit too low dont they? especially if your car has been lowered. well i sorted mine out by swapping how the back box hangs on the bracket that screws into the car chassis! i have no pics atm but what i did was remove ...
