I love the front on and rear on stance. The wheel offset and camber really sets it off.

Rob E · Postby **Rob E** » Mon Mar 08, 2010 3:07 pm

yeah, im going to wind it down about 10mm front and rear i think, no more. The 6UL have really grown on me too, perfect combination of stance/width/weight/brake clearance for me.

Once i do power + bracing the next step is seats and harnesses........probably need a beefier clutch too

I like that car, its just like mine but better in too many ways

@ MDTC

The car developed what i think is some kind of fueling problem, after 3-4 minutes hard it would start to hesitate, splutter etc...almost like a soft cut rev limiter. Will get the new injectors in next Saturday and have retuned, will check out the pump too to make sure its up to speed.
