		Going to do what i've been talking about doing for ages, and painting some of the black plastics green on my Saab! 
Started on the wheels, have done the final paint coat and taken a quick preview!

Going to lacquer tomorrow, then start on the other two!

people think they are so dull, but they can be tuned to be very exciting.
 
bit like a DT i suppose. 
 
plan to save for some go next. need a steering rack brace first though.

		Well look at it this way...,they did put that engine in the 93 Vigen...just very rare and rediculous. Where I used to take mine, he had a mint one that was mapped in a hirsch map to 310bhp and just shy of 400ft torque!

		315bhp and 430nm is the highest kit on the site I normally buy parts from. There is a list of replacements parts as long as my arm in that though, and no price! lol
