That will be about it for the typhoon as I want to keep it fairly streetable. If all goes well on the job front I will be buying a BA-BF ute and building into a race car still with the 4.0l turbo engine but with an auto and much stronger rear end, it will be stripped right out to keep it light, should be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
