    I just noticed your future mods include things that would suggest you are putting in a linked rear end ? Is this correct?

    They'll do the job for now till i can afford something else.

    Amazing how terrible the rear bumper makes them look. Still looking at other options for a rear bar to tidy it up a little and keep it legal.

    In two minds as to what i do at the moment, 4 link would be nice but dont think i'll outlay the cash considering its only going to be a daily.

    even with the hurricanes it still look's fresh. very decent offset regardless.

    i thought that as long as it doesnt burst into flames whilst doing a rego check, any car is legal in TAS?
