5 bwah bwah bwah. What does this mean? I’m too bad ass and my car was too fast? Or I just got boost obsessed? My fickleness is ruining me, or at least my impression. Mind change like a million times.

They are pretty important pieces for cooling and aero, and function relatively well (so some say), but mine were almost torn in half and missing large pieces. That’s why I’m making a splitter now, when I probably should be tuning turbo bits. I used white carbon fiber… […]
