And I was one of those lucky enough to snap up a set

I was actually after a set of ProClass for my Mongoose build, but at Â£59 I wasn't gonna turn down such a bargain. My mate has a set of ProClass rims though, so I'm trying to convince him to do a swap

Oh and forget the gutsy oldschool cars, nice though they are, and get yourself a newschool rice rocket. Word of warning though, if you find yourself getting carried away buying new bits for your bike, NEVER start to mod your car!

After some madness my Impreza Wagon now hits 60 in a fraction over 4secs, does the 1/4 mile in 12.6secs (an Audi RS4 will do it in 13.1) and my mates Porsche 911 Turbo can't pull away from it. Oh, and they're great fun round a track too!

UKAI's are down at the moment as Rudewheels just cleared out a load at £59 a pair with lovely Suntour sealed hubs...so it takes a while for things to bounce back again.

Bugger!! i missed out there!

0-60 in just a fraction under 3 seconds and awesome in the forests!

Wait while we get our WRC Evo for next season - then we'll be cooking!

Assumption is the mother of all evil - lol!

We're not getting the Evo you think we're getting, we're getting a Hyundai Accent WRC Evo. Main reason being is that we can't afford a Mitsubishi or Subaru WRC and we've tested the Hyundai and we liked it a lot. Awesome car for the money but they're not easy to come by in RHD. When we first got the scooby it was LHD (it's actually Richard Burns's old Group N car from Prodrive) and we converted it to RHD. It wasn't too bad to do really, however, we're not sure a WRC spec car will be as easy.

It'll take us up a step albeit on a budget of £70K rather than £150K and we should still be able to compete with the big boys.

We shall see, you never know, we might re-mortgage our houses and got for an Impreza WRC yet!

pft.............5.4 litres of aussie muscle. 290kw @ the flywheel, 520nm of torque, 14sec 1/4 mile, not bad for a car that comes in at nearly 1900kg straight off the showroom floor

for about 60k aussie pesos

............and the rims aren't ukais
