    its full stock, with 4ac
    bought it as a daily, well actually swapped my 1600 for it.
    ive also got a another datto with ca18 190kw as the weekender.
    ive always lovers these cars, the body shape is rad, the plan was not to spend money on it but its sooo sooo tempting.
    thanks

    you will start by getting some wheels, and some springs/shocks. then comes the need for power.

    I heard he isn't that bad.. Not sure what he will pick out though, and only available January onwards.
    I got my RWC yesterday thanks to my cousins old friend who quickly wrote one up for $250, and told me the problems that i should fix..
