says in his advert 'i am a 41yr old enthusiast not a doughnut puller'

yet he has added a video to his advert of him wheel spinning out of a junction and bouncing it off the limiter

scroll down for the videos.

Irmscher kit probably makes it worth less.

Also don't like the round arches.

Also think its a touch expensive although it looks fairly tidy and they just don't come up these days.

Vids would put me right off though.

177 brake in a car that big, not that quick.

I'd have one though although it would need to be a flat arch 24v.

I remember one for a Nova and it said, "I'm 50 years old so not a boy racer" then further down in the advert it said, "this car can easily get to 150mph (tried and tested) and can stop just as quick"
