After 3yrs and 8months it finally lives.
Gotta say massive thanks to Steve @ A1 Rally Sport.
Also thanks to Marco for stopping me from selling it many times over,lol
Just got to finish off a few bits and pieces and then i can start to run it in.
This is how it looks at the moment

Will be going for a top speed run, then might put a smaller turbo on and use as a track car.
Hoping to join the lads out on the track rather than standing on the pit wall.

Yes mate sticking with those wheels, it took me 3 years to find a set.
He will need it as well.... waiting for that Turbo to come on boooost
Ahh the words of a man in fear of getting passed, lol
only messing mate but it will be good to join you lot out on track and as said if i think its too laggy i will be going Gt35 or even Gt30 for a bit of resposiveness.

Dunno if i want to do the stickers up the 1/4 now. undecided at the moment as i will be using the car on the road aswell.
Think the sticker thing looks cool on a track car but unsure for the road.
