    My first crap was a Daihatsu Charade GTti....1 litre twincam 12v turbo...little rocket that used to fall apart under hard acceleration...i always had a philips head in the cockpit ready once i put the foot down....when it wasnt broke down.. :no:

    Then i got meself a nice mint RWD Starlet and put escort mk2 forestry arches and splitter on and i thought i was Ari Vatanen until i realised i need a twincam!! :(

    Now i have myself a white/black AE86 Levin GT-Apex straight from the land of the rising sun and its slowly driving me mad.....niggly problems drive me crazy!! :wack:
