Thabks guys it means alot. The car runs very very well and pulls increadibly straight and planted. The re con purple tag rack feels really tight, it feels like a brand new car. I just gotta get it dynoed and check for faults, and im gunna time a 0-60. If i knew it would have cost that much though i woukd have run a mile, so im glad i went in unknowing really.
