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

In all fairness the engine ain't that heavy!!! It handles ok for a car not setup proper with over 200bhp at d wheels so :) to give u an answer it's Awsome :)

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.
