Actually it should be £840 for a set of 4 , but I factored in £79 a corner for A048r's as well!

They are seriously nice though aren't they. I'd probably want them even if they were heavier than the usual minilights/superlights etc!

Yes, a bit too much weight at the back end i think, and to get the driveshafts in the right place the engine is quite far back which isn't very good for the handling. The bike engine is quite good for a mini as it is fairly light so the weight distribution is good.

You thinking of running some sort of upside down, inside-out, back-to-front suspension linkage together with power-bulged front wings, or are you just gonna run the whole car upside down? :w00t:

your front frame is completely different to mine why has the it been changed? i havent even used mine yet and chris has already modified it? doesnt seem good!

looks mint though? is the change just for the brake pipe mount bracket?
