How's the quality on that German CF kit? Thought about ordering one of those for my other S2, but wasn't willing to gamble.

Well it's is a quality product and for the price the carbon is excellent and finished to a high standard. It will need some alterations for bolts an things to fit, but is a great buy for me!

Well I Got up early and got cars together, I have some issue that I mess to fix the main drive belt and the rear gear to tight for the motor to sit in place Sad.

love how the car is starting to look enjoy the Pic's flux lovers
