Post by: Ridg on 08 August 2008, 11:40: out of the 2 power, but like rhyso i did the brakes first, what the point of having more power if you struggle to stop it?

fast 0-60 times are one thing, being able to corner faster is another, but being able to stop in time is more important.

Post by: the_stink on 08 August 2008, 11:53: I Hope so! :grin: or the euro millions tonight :wink:
