Err, make that three!!!

I remember getting a phone call from Dean straight after he picked his up from Mr Enforcer. He said he was travelling up the highway, gave it a boot full and then patched it into 3rd and the thing changed lanes on him!!!

Lucky for him he was wearing his brown cordoroys!! :shock:


Maybe this applies

doc it really depends on the conditions, i don't remember seeing mine move an inch left or right at wakefield park when nailed. Yes if the road is rough then it will move around but thats where you have to control the use of your throttle, you can drive to the conditions with these cars and most the time you only need 1/2 throttle to keep ahead of most cars on the road :D

My one can sometimes go off and lost a bit traction too if I am not being too careful with it... Just can't go too far down on the pedal cus it's very sensitive.

Or cush is trying to increase his post count again ....

Slinkey , is that a factory equalisation shaft from something (starlet or other?) or an aftermarket special , looks like a brilliant idea to even things out .
