Great video, and fascinating to see the work you have put into this car. The detail, and quality is outstanding. Personally, I don't like these cars, I don't like the shape at all, and thought they were lame, slow, and bad build quality, but I can appreciate your hard work, skills, and sheer creativity.

Quality vid as always! I also need to do the arches on mine cuz have also 20mm spacers laying around for the rear. But why do you recommmend to cut the arches, and not roll them? Btw you should add some genuine shark eyes and headlight washers :-) Fit a X20XER inlet cam... would also be a really nice upgrade (and oem). As with the stock cam you loose the power at about 5500rpm. With the XER cam it holds the power till the redline.
