pops i dont as i a fooking good cycle mechanic

i did get moved to the chavs part but i got fed up of kids telling about flexable drive shafts and how slow porches are as there fillered and hand sprayed nov has sooooooooooooo much extra horse power witha bit of injector cleaner and 10k power boost

oh i do get used alot on the parts desk to help when the other fook up things

i like running bike hut ,. its sooooooooooooo easy

50/50 wieght split with the car empty
its even more when i am back in it

the car handles so must better with the wieght if the front wheels
the engine sits behind the front wheels not and therefore moves alot more of the weight to the rear
this took ages to work out using tubs of water to make same weight as fuel tank and stuff
moved the engine 4 times before i got it where i wanted it

there is another reason am going the jap route and next yr i will have a liner engine in there with 1000bhp
