    LOL, shouldn't have listened to him. Auto is only good for fast strip times, manual is better for everything else.

    Springs are custom height, so cant tell you what they are.

    Default update

    i spent the week end trying to fix this


    idle


    and it wouldnt rev past 2500rpm
    sounded like it was hitting the limiter



    so i repaced:

    fuel pump
    fuel filter
    spark plugs
    spark plugs leads
    oil filter
    oil
    air filter

    it runs great now but im not sure how long for because it only plays up some times i hope i fixed it tho

    I think the mini spool would play a big part in my tyre wear but I don't mind buying 2 new back tyres every month or two
