Nice car. BTW it looks like you're not using distributor. Any reason for it?

GregSL-Se It is by far the best handling car that I have ever driven

Kxxryzex I have owned the car for only two years

Kiyoshi It was made to be set up with the CAI...I could have switched to dist.

Urizen I don't have any closer pics at this time

Wing Discriminaton

I am just curious why so many people dislike the wing.

It is actually a small wing compared to some that I have seen.

Just curious!

Thanx

Looks good, the wing is a tad large (tall) for my taste, but I like the low profile look myself (I have a YourSport wing on my 7, which is pretty low). You might wanna adjust the gaps on your hood/pop-ups, they look like they might be a tad off (I just did this on mine, PITA, but looks a lot better all perfected.

Annnnyway, just some constructive criticism, I really like the car overall, very nice color, very very clean FC. Me likey.
