I picked up a Pivot lazy eye controller from another member of the forum (they are universal). It lets u adjust how high they sit from the drivers seat. I think I paid about $100 for it.

You can do the dodge on it without using the controller and I think there are some vids on youtube that explain how.

cool cool, would be nice to have a s5 but meh, the tail lights make it look close enough

I'm dreading the day mine goes pop. I have a feeling it will be sold as is when it does.

The new dumpy tip. More show, same go.

[BenJaman]

[replikar]

Yep - sick


nice FC, what kind of power are we talking and have you had any over boosting troubles with your exhaust or are you running an aftermarket computer?

like that pic of it sliding on some massive skidpan type thing - looks sweet!

looking forward to further up dates

[BenJaman]

Pushing about 200hp, pretty close to stock. It overboosts sometimes in thrid gear at open throttle but not that bad.
