nearly every thing mentioned can be fixed and if you want loads of torque and horsepower you need to spend a bit of money.

Just find a girl that drives a FTO. And you can borrow her car when yours is low on petrol.

Hey sorry guys, I know I'm off topic. But this kinda falls in the 'what do/don't you like' ...

Salacious: I was reading another discussion, and noticed that you have Kahn RSR 17x8 wheels. I am looking at getting those exact wheels for my car. If you don't mind, could you email me a couple of pictures, or post them to the forum. I'm also really keen to here what you think about them.

Cheers.

You can see my car

At Croft

In Keswick

And finally at Binbrook

The only thing I would say is that it makes the brake discs look tiny especially the rear. I really like the wheels the only problem I have is that the tyres don't offer much rim protection. I also believe that Kahn have stopped making the RSR.

Thank you very much for providing those images, I'm sold.

Thanks Luca for the kind words. These pictures were about 3 weeks after some f**kers were jumping on the roof of my car outside the cinema. You probably can't see the dents in the roof but they are still there.

Just added some more pics
These are at Binbrook

how much kw was it doing on the wheels again? i read it somewhere but i forgot... :P
around 400hp at the front wheels (that's 297kw, more then 2x more power than the std engine itself)

...sure u can handle the beast??? ;)

i'd imagine it'd be the closest thing to riding a rodeo eh Danny?? LOL...!!
