Wow - that looks awesome ! - certainly looks very 80's and not styled like anything you see in the uk.

Nice car dude - welcome to the zone 8)

Very nice, very nice indeed. Well done in producing just the right level of understatement. From the shots, I almost prefer the Kamei rear spoiler to the MTech 1. I think I agree with capri-rob that a lot of UK cars are overstyled - MTech 2 is a step too far IMO. To my mind, this is where its at. Lovely car Jason, thanks for the pics.

I forgot to post pictures of the engine and the int. There's nothing really special about them but the int is red. And that's a rarity here in the states.

A German Mr.T? :mad:

The car looks great, esp. in side profile! Lowered on those smaller wheels only makes it better! 8) On 2nd viewing, it makes me think of a German Ford Escort Mk2, from the 80's.
