Quality's good, nothing to complain about well worth £30 in my opinion.

I've seen the same one for £20 - I've got what appears to be an identical one as well.

Couple of plates, threaded bar and an ally centre there isn't nothing to go wrong - bargain!

Moon roof looks sweet by the way. 8-)

Nice info there ... never knew a FC one would fit with a little 'adjustment'. Off to consult EBay now. RX7fb scores again 0-0 :D

It's a good, cheap mod.... I've started a new thread off about it so that we can chat about it without clogging Adams car thread up...

Oooh, Gilmer in black looks good. Not seen that before. Rear end is much better too, though the numberplate looks massive :? Is it just the angle the pics taken from?

Google "pinched torrington bearing".

You can't just take the front pulley off a rotary.
