been away with work, Ive only driven it 3 times since i got it, but im thinking ive been a little rash with changes. I love the predictability of the spool, but i want a legal car so i think thats still on the chopping block. The hi rise, I love the look of it so reckon ill hold onto it an possible stroke the engine later. Anyway some bigger pics, not the best though as weather is **** an its in the shed

Looks like a good buy! not a fan of the scoop though haha

 

[vt6banger]

yeah im not liking the scoop, but it has to have something, not real keen on a brock reverse cowl either because i dont want any body kit so itll look funny with just the brock scoop

With the low rise it should fit under the bonnet surely ? why not just go a bulge or something ?

I reckon it'll look fine with the Brock scoop and no body kit

i was toying with the idea of offering a swap for a dual plane lowrise, but i doubt id get much interest
