Throw up some videos of her moving when you get a chance. Be interesting to see what she is like to go.

Serious effort in that car. Looks the part too. What's the road handling like with that offset and the engine so far forward?

All to their own!!
But
Ain't u doing a vtec conversion? Why wouldn't it b ur cup of tea
Mine has been done very well!!! Yes to the extreme with the big arches and wheels but
That's needed as it's a vtec

more rubber more grip + wider+ wider arches needed
Everything is based on wat the car needed so ye

all to their own I suppose

I like it. I personally would have left them polished and maybe clear coat them. Just my opinion though.
