to be honest i have only driven a couple of 1600's and i'm only just getting
used to mine.
i have 200b/drums on mine with a z18et.
but i can imagine that it will be a thousand times better with rear discs
and a good setup. i don't really know if my setup is good, it does stop
though. :)
my knowledge on cars is at novice stage and i'm just getting interested in
it now i've got a 510 to play with.
What would you suggest in the way of boosters etc to run a solid/solid
system?
