    Thanks for the comments guys, yeah they are nitto invo's, great tyre in the dry especially when up in the hills and they get some heat into them.

    Strick, very happy with the tune and Luis's work on the wagon. The tyre pressure monitors need to be enabled in the computer as well as having the monitors in the wheels.

    Duke, im sure its gonna make a good dads racewagon hahaha.

    This is my old toy that some of u might know, still miss it!


    Cheers
