Yeah it's only spins in 1st wen I give it high revs and dump the clutch no way it would even chirp second i dont think haha and na the marks on the body were already there wen I bought it and I haven't touched the suspension the guy before me might have buy wen I put the rims on it did lift it a fair bit and The turning circle is rather average cos even with the spacers on the rims I can't full lock although it's not that far off

Guess i'll have to upload a vid of my current boy spinning third, with 12's haha. Only does 2nd with 14's.

Those wheels are also a major saftey hazard, rocks flying off tyres, increase in rolling diameter, increase in unsprung weight. Thats alot of load on the suspension components and also a defect.

Lol Brayden when i bought my current mb with its f5a 400,000 on it, it couldnt even spin in the wet, must of had 10hp at best.

Oh what engine do you have in it? 3cylinders? If you upload a pic we can tell you if your not sure.

Was this mb on ebay not long ago? Swear I seen it before, not with the 17's.

It is an F8B - 796cc. The giveaway is the extra engine steady on the pulley end of the motor. ;)

Better than f5a.

Brayden, I bought a mb with f5a with second engine steady.

40hp max, probaly best of 20-30 left.

They weren't factory fitted, so yours would be the 1% exception. ;)
