I think they were the cheapest 15" he could find!

All the work being done is on a tight budget, panels were free, front spoiler
we hacked up 2 old ones and glassed it together, backyard spray paint etc.

Car is pretty fit mechanically, has all the good bits.

Just needs to be dropped another 2-3 inches, already dropped 2inch from its rally spec.

I co-drove in this car twice, it was awesome. The rev buzzer would start buzzing after the countdown and didn't stop untill the flying finish.

GC win would've been about 96 I think?

Yeah the buzzer is annoying but atleast you know if its not on, you not going fast enough!

Unfortunately it hasnt seen any competitions since Heimo rolled it, banged the floor and hit a roo, mainly just wakefield track days.
