Finally got round to writing this, Been a huge learning curve and hopefully this thread shall aid me when i'm next stuck.

I've owned it for around about four months now however only now she's finally been treated to some well needed new bits.

The spec upon purchase was great although it was tired shall we say :lol:

The heart of it is a OBR 29.5cc fullmod and a Tgn Big bore, Turns heads fo sho... 

Here's a cheeky before pic

Decent toe blocks

Hostile rear hubs

Hostile front tyres of some sort.

Cheers fellas

The antisocially loud Tgn big bore :xd:

Getting quite proud of it now :)

Oh Sprogis...no doubt when driving age comes about you'll fit something equally as tedious to some small and weedy hatchback.

A sign of maturity is realizing that the volume knob also turns to the left... ;-p

as noj said, there is a metal spacer that goes around that plastic bit.

 

 

2 options, 1. get the spacer, or 2. get the gbe engine mount, 2nd option is better imo.

 

 

 

by the way, nasa called, they want their rocket nozzle back

After five minutes of running at Doms she was broke. Travelled around 100 miles on the train and then blew a rear cvd on a corner :( Later also found out that i've snapped the exhaust spring mount. 

Soo in le market for new driveshafts...

On the cards are:

Phatdad 300M ones

Hpi HD drive cups

Darksoul toobz 

Any input is appreciated lads.

Budget isn't really a issue, Just want to be able to run it for more than ten mins.... :xd:
