the cars dirty as fcuk at the moment so not got many picys recently. I hate winter, its dark its dirty and it cold.

Wheels might be staying a little longer i can't find any 16's i like, been swayed though by team dynamics Pro race 1.2's in white or silver - they are lighter as well.

fair play, td's are nice, but i've heard more than one account of the spoke cracking due to pot holes etc as they are designed for super smooth race tracks hence being so light!!!

Well, 4WD is the best, but I'd say FWD personally. I'd prefer to see what I was crashing into i.e. under steer than go arse end into it over steering.

Because its getting a bit borring now

I know that Honda's do not have high torque, but they make do without it.

99% of the peopl ethat bitch about them on here have never driven them and possibly never will. Internet warriors that follow the trend.
