You do like your nice nuts.

Great saving per corner that!

Where did you get the wheel nuts mate? My mates been after a set for ages, but hadn't seen them for sale since SMIL imports packed up

I'm guessing he got them from force racing

I have one set going spare if someone is looking for them.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Hi mate,

Do you have any trouble putting the power down with the 4.5 minilife wheels and 165 tyres? just curious as you have stuck with them for the entire build

James

No mate I am happy with them so far! When I am on the strip I let them right down

ah ok, I think you've just made up mind on what width wheels I'm going to go for. This is a cracking car by the way, will it be at MITP?

James

All being well if I pull my finger out!
