yea if you'd spend "20K" on a car you'd think you would at least use a 4age

Why would you go like 150kph in a video and leave your plates visible?
and got enough gauges??!!

Looks like a douche bag to me.

What was the point of even going to 150km/h? Took him fkn ages so seems pointless. Will laugh if the cops see it and do them, they deserve it.

DVS....probably thinks he's original too :roll: :lol:

I agree. I thought it took so long to get to 150. Like it didn't even have a churbro..

Yeah he wasn't doing it in one go, which I could almost understand why it would be worth recording (in a legal situation) but just cruising to 150, what is the point, 99% of cars on the road can do that.

Car is quite tidy though, not a fan of the mags though.

Oh and nothing wrong with FE's :lol: The previous plate was BHG809 so maybe the 4age blew is BHG so was replaced by the cheaper FE 8)

Blatantly says FX-Zi on the hatch though :lol; Guess it doesnt quite have the same ring to it though.
Kinda cool though, but not sure why you'd not just start with a proper FXGT.

Why do people put gauges in the passengers side dash area??


You wouldn't be able to see they bloody things when you really need the gauges anyway (racing etc).

You could sorta angle them towards the driver. But he hasn't in this instance.

Sure are, they even do away with a camgear, they're that hardcore into weight loss :lol: Though I think they're drum rear, which would likely offset the weight.

surely you could buy an fx gt, same rims, same blue paint, a blacktop rebuild it with gze pistons ect slap a churrbro on it maybe even some nice headers and a link + tuning time for a similar price? and it would go waaaay harder?

Problem is people are too cheap. They buy the lowest spec model then ask on here how to put a 4age in and change to discs all round :lol:

To show their passengers how cool their crappy autogauge meters are.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.
