I like the look of the exhaust but the muffler next to the driver might get old real quick.

Mechanically, this car is B.A.

Visually?.....It looks like it came in a McDonalds Kids Meal.

Why even run the bottle heater?? Look how close the exhaust is ran to the bottle - LOL. What's that - 4 inches tops?

ford cortina for the win.

We had two in london we have a MK1 and a MK2 but moving to the ol usa gave them away for nothing.

I would think it would be less difficult to find centerlocks with better fitment. Come to think of it, I don't think I have seen centerlocks with that flat of a face. That is IS300/Mazda/FWD type high offset. Seems an odd choice considering the rest of the car is obviously full-blown.

Perhaps a method to the madness though. With that way wider front rear track and positive camber setup it the rear that looks to be a twitchy oversteering machine. OP what is this car setup for?
