    AWD is good but not the best thing since sliced bread, a well tuned suspension setup in your FWD car and you could achieve maximum traction for street driving or even circuit racing.

    Solid bushes, suspension tuning i.e. camber, caster and toe, stickier/wider tires and unsprung weight i.e. wheels, brakes, rotors make all the difference

    hey, long time no see... you've been quiet recently!

    yeah, looking at bushes, coilovers, sways and walk. might put some camber on when i get the next set of tyres...
    going to keep the stock rims, paint chrome black if possible.
    are you still attached to your spare red stripe?

    Don get the chrome powdercoated i know the perfect place.. looks so much better. Camber kits are fun to play around with or I could give your car the same look as mine rofl. Minus the crabbing rofl

    i like to watch dancing cars, not real keen on driving them! lol

    no, looking for black-chrome paint and hopefully black-chrome paint or replacement exhaust tips...

    What place did you have in mind?

    Been busy! Yeah I'm still keeping my spare red stripe, might be selling the car soon so might revert everything back to stock and put the rear wiper back

    solid bushes (anti lift kit) made a whole heap of difference to my stock car, less axle tramping, so personally I think it's a must do mod if you're a stage 1 pirelli. It's not that expensive either so a pretty good bang-for-buck mod in my opinion.

    hopefully we'll catch up at the next QLD sometime and go for a cruise
