I know, I know, Vadims stock whipped me, but tune, & tires should do wonders..(I'm hoping) We'll try & all meet up say in a few weeks? & yes beers after w/Thericker I'll buy the 1st round! no matter what..
Don't get me wrong I'm totally expecting to loose, (not crazy, just luv this ****! wanna see how much more a modded E pulls, after I get a little modding myself!)
pm me or I'll do likewise in a few weeks....Laters
