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

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

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.
