Welcome to all the new members
Biff, I have a question for you. What kind of disc brakes do you
have on the front. Do you know who modified them and how? Car sounds
great, I would also like to know about the driveshaft support and motor
mounts if those have been modified.
I'm sure the group would like to here it as well.
