Turbo, nooo N/A all the way I'm afraid. Bro perfers the throttle response of an N/A motor for drifting.

Lol, the stuff from the white one is being transferred over, that was always a prototype setup for testing and is now final.

I know, I'd love to post some pics but bro wants to wait until the car is finished. It will be a rolling demo for parts and services we'll offer, and hence he wants it to be 'right'.

It's an interesting question actually - was the top shock absorber mounting point reinforced at all?

cheers

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but I wanted to ask if the 5 link is still working OK?
