    It’s a fair point but its half the fun at work for me. I’ve always had some stickers on my cars so not seen the need to change. I do want a more brash outside instead of a sleeper but we’ll see 460ish is the aim or back it off for longevity is the aim. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yeah, I'll sort some out tomorrow. Bearing in mind mine is mapped and manual it's the unpopular setup. But this really has made it a loveable rogue Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

    I'm getting on fine with it. Theres a bit of torque steer and the rain means up to 3rd it can spin. I find proper throttle application to work best! Otherwise when its dry and you can stretch its legs its fine. Ps4s keep everything sticky Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
