to be honest i dont know what it makes now, before the exhaust, tfc and rebuild of carb it was making like 129rwkw, running like a dog and not revving past 4500, now at a guess comparing to mates cars i would say around 170ish... not a monster by anyones standards, but enough for me... not like there is anywhere in canberra that you can use it.....

drop spindles are original CRS ones that use hq brakes, i found that hq brakes are absolute shite and when i could handle no more i upgraded(if you could call it that) to HZ calipers. they still use falcon discs, and im led to believe that if you contact hoppers stoppers or similar you can actually get brackets that are part of an upgrade kit for HQ-Z that allows use of the VT twin piston caliper... yet to try it but on my to do list

Good to see you made it on here! YOU FORGOT THE GLIMMER DRIVE! I can hear that noise 3 streets away!

Throw up some pics of the other wheels :)
