It's out of the garage for once 
runs quite well with 17spi, still need to get this setup more professionally but for the small distance it will go until april it'll be rete, pulls throught the first 3 gears very well but the ACT's are going through the roof, time for a front mount which will be replaced some time in december with an airtec item as i think i may be able to get away without cutting at all due to their super slim new fans.
few pics of it actually of the driveway
