Rob's 88 Vert

I been having formatting issues on the web magazine portion of the site and didn't want the shoot to be forgotten, so I put it in blog format for now. Take a look and don't forget to add us on facebook

It was definately the cleanest and most well maintained FC i'd ever seen and Rob and his build should be a reaching point for anyone building an FC..

thanks bros

have to make a correction in the bio, car was tuned and power was made at 18lbs, but we set the boost controller for 15lbs, I had forgotten
about this until the other night when we had the car plugged into the laptop.

Should be retuning for E85 so I can safely run 18-20lbs
