), cost 5 euro for 1 set and you can get them at [link=http://www.ikea.com]Ikea[/link], normally they are used in the kitchen[sm=thumbup.gif]. Think your local hardware store has them also. So if you want a nice and cheap hop up...[8D]And for the total cost of the car, whell i live in my car now, only have 1 kidney left, lost 5 gallons of blood, and i am still recovering of it all LOL ..

Well i'm up to the almost final upgrade, the ultimate steering servo (Tonegawa), think it will take a few day to think out everything again, but should be no problem and will change the FG servo saver for a Hormann version because this one works much better.s
Last picture before the final upgrade..[8D]

39.6LBS @ ~ 40MPH= suicide for the rims i think..
Friend had a few nice one's from Germany, trashed them the second time on his car, 2 damaged as a result of about 10 flip overs..[8D]
So if i can get them for a nice price than i will place them for the looks, but when it's out in the wild, plastic please...
Went for a drive last weekend..[X(]

you do realize if you bought another MT and left it stock, you could beat it like a redheaded stepchild. and keep that alloy monster pretty.
