johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars Posted April 7, 2008 try a quick search, theres a topic on these somewhere with the pros and cons of cut-and-welding a ax gt or similar one, personally i think u'd be better off getting a csc marmitte one like i have, they're really good and fit really well, they are pretty expensive though and you'll probably have to wait a while for it to be imported, macaroni (anthony) on here sorted mine out for me (and i am eternally grateful!!!!) maybe if you ask him nicely he might be able to have a word with the people for you or give you some contact details, im sure i read a post on here from somebody else wanting one aswell so you may be able to get a group buy on the go or summit. i think mine was about £200 about 6 months ago but the prices have a tendancy to rise pretty often, and postage might be a little extra if your not in mainland uk hope that helps a little john Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordfish210 20 Posted April 7, 2008 i wouldnt go above a 265 for normal road use. A 285 is a good comprimise for road/track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
