Do you have a wing on the back and a wing on the front?

or is it a spoiler on the back and a splitter on the front?

or are they both indeed spoilers?

or shall we just call them all aerofoils?

long time since ive updated this properly, I have been on the forum lurking around as usual tho :)

really chuffed with the car, sailed through its mot and its not missing a beat! I really want to get my valver in it but im scared ill have it off the road for too long! and worried ill never get it running right, but so many people have done the change so it cant be too hard!
probably going to put my valver in till I can get a donor 360 and convert it all over and run a 2.3 on carbs and a cam. I would rather a redblock!
if I ever grow the balls to get my engine out haha, because im happy how it is so Im worried ill take out a perfectly good engine and out in one with hassle.
anyway ill stop whinging, heres some pics!
also any meets going on this summer?

Clay pigeon is a fair trek from you Theo ;) Great karting circuit though, I've had Fake and the Corset round there.
