Angreal, they look like RC Starks, I'm rocking a set
Although I don't think any of the 3 variants ever came in 6 stud.

thanks, the front lip makes such a difference on the nb1's!
2cm hail didn't eventuate as predicted luckily. I did wonder about it collapsing, but figured at least then the hail would only be falling from a metre or so rather than at terminal velocity!

This wheel looks like it's on backwards... Then I noticed the wheels only come in one shape.
At least I know where I could potentially get stock wheel replacements to put super fat rears on from

They are. They won't fit on a car and I guess it's easier to just get snapfrozen's wheels and photoshop carbon fibre onto those seeing as both cars are red and the wheels look the same

So this seems the most relevant place to ask this question since it's a pretty random thread. Are those flamethrower exhaust kits legal? I'm thinking on the bike it'll be awesome and in the car because I can...

Happily on the bike
that thing runs so rich it's not funny. Fuel efficiency is worse than the car and the car currently sucks. Makes up for it with aches, pains, cramps and mega grin factor. That bike was designed with a Japanese teenager in mind
ah well. Pretty sure I weight more than the bike

I am pretty sure flame thrower exhausts are illegal on road using cars

Just got back from the shop where I got another muffler/resonator put on my car as it was way to loud.
Sounds much better and I don't feel like I,m disturbing the peace everytime I put my foot down now.
Off to the dyno this time next week to get the supercharger sorted. CANT WAIT!

Put the hardtop back on. A drive shows just how much the hardtop stiffens the car, definitely drives better with it on.

After giving it a repaint I put on my "wiper blade wind deflector thingy" (that's the technical name) that warrior kindly donated to me. I think it looks a lot nicer than just having 2 phillips head screws in the shaft of my wiper blade.
Thank you warrior!
