gis - you should know me better, video was taken from outside as I flew past - just gotta wait for the guy to edit it.
I did a little math on your gear ratios, tyre sizes and rpms... you were a gnats ball hair away from geared terminal velocity.

Its the 6 speeds you see, every one is so used to the 150-ish mph top end of the 5 speed - but the 6 speed looks to be good for 166mph at 7000rpm.

Good show.

Time for some bling - got my dream wheels finally, a set of gunmetal 18x9 +29 Advan RS (light weight Japanese quality, cost a packet but worth it). Absolutely loving them, pics don't do them justice.

Haven't pick up the Evo IX rear bumper with the diffuser yet huh?

Rims looks great. Be careful of pop holes.

I've kept the stock wheels and putting some slick tyres on them for track work - much faster and saves my street tyres from being worn out.

Sig/avatar updated.
