just had a little drive round in it it was the shittest thing ever. I wish i didnt bother. Now i remember my car as a shitty jerky rattley box with a hole in the floor. Was still fun though stripped my rear caliper threads as well so need a new rear caliper had to shut the rear brakes off on my bias adjuster so i could drive it
