pics will come soon

Haha, I will post more soon. BSC Motorsports is doing the final engine tuning this week for it, and I will take some more pictures and get them online within the next few weeks. Still finishing up the interior etc.

It is a gsl-se with a 6 puck race clutch and an S4 engine. I just got it on the road a few days ago. We had it up on the hoist and when you spun one wheel, the other wheel spun the same direction..... just not very well. Also, when taking off, it likes to spin one wheel, unless you really give it the gas. It feels like an open diff. So I am confused.
