thanks

Not bad for a daily driver. but the rear tyres get expensive when they're 315x35x17's! The bottom photo is a fun street race which the road was closed off. This caused a laugh, people couldn't believe its pace, especially when an RX7 passed me under brakes into a corner, then I blew past it out of the corner & up the straight!

The rear wing you wanted to see. Which is off a Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 mid 80's but had to lengthen it about 250mm.

The 2 missile switches in the middle of the dash are for arming the nitrous & the other for a brake line lock for burn-outs!! The shifter is a B&M Mega shifter for the modified C4 trans.
