Hmm, at least in here gearbox oil should be ATF, that is what user's manual says.

Car looks very nice, maybe some videos will follow from test drive? :P

Looks tight from the outside now. Intrigued on all the rear strut braces though, do they actually work? Thing I'm getting confused with is I always thought you were supposed to fit a brace, then tension it again the posts with the adjuster, and havn't seen any of the rears fitted being adjustable. Or do I have the wrong end of the stick?

over size the bar and a BIG hammer.
the braces on the top of the shocker tops put too much stress on the shocker mounts.

Ahhh, pre tensioned ;) I take it you mean just for the rear by mounting on the shock mounting, and not the 3 bolts up front?

White wheel disks. And in fact how many to racing aggression they give to the machine. Even without external plastic tuning.


Perfectly looks
