MicsManta Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 its good to see a finished project, would be goodto see a video of it driving if posible, not all of us can get to billing. good luck wit future ventures with this project, and you always want to keep a low profile around the cops, i wouldn't be suprised if they pull you over just to look at the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicsManta Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 looked good. i'm glad you beat that mini(if you can call it a mini). thanks for showing us the link to the video, are you going to try to do a run in the dry if you can find that one dry day in the year. are you going to up the boost or are you just running it in? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
