That was pretty good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. Agree you'll get that in parts no problem. When it's totally stripped sell the chassis to one of those scrap metal pickup guys for $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He simply looked up his book and said $800 which I thought was pretty good. I was expecting about $2K.Sorry Lennox, missed your note earlier. I normally drive with DSC off as it has enough torque to be a nice drift car however, given it was wet, I had left DSC on. I don't think DSC was going to help me in that situation anyway.

Sometimes I reckon it's better with it off it seems to straighten the car up at the wrong point. I'm the same though usually have it on in the wet unless I'm having happy timesBad luck mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your OK as well which is the main thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
