ripped_fear Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 thanks for pointing them out mate there are a few cracks in the front bumper so will assess that when I get it as I dont want to use anything thats been repaired really but it is a genuine one so if its not too bad then will use it but was a good price just for the fenders anyway My thoughts exactly. good luck mate and will keep my eyes out for the rest of the bits.

Pudsey Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Very best of luck with the winter build. Awful to see your previous hard work ruined, great to see your bouncing back though as could have been easy to throw in the towel I imagine. Look forward to following your progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 No 1/4 for me mate ; too much stress on drivetrain. I do half mile events ; and rolling races. The 6870 turbo (the one I have) will bring you to your goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
