[Mick1988]

NICE! I really wanted one of these things when they first came out! Good to know there are well-kept ones still floating around.

[R1DG3Y]

cheers guys

Update:
New Leads
New Plugs
New K&N Filter
and Diff Oil Change - which stopped the clunking/ grinding noise i had coming from it.

can deffinatly tell it has more hp than 277.6. will get another dyno sheet when it gets tuned

also goes into the panel beaters on the 12th of April to get the dent taken out of the passenger side rear quarter and new front bumper fitted (VU SS)
pretty stoked about that too

Cheers

Advanti Gauntlets?... no, please no.
They're a riceburner rim IMO.
