always loved frank cars. one of the cleanest r32 examples in quebec. I saw you around in the southshore a few times.

If I had a RHD car, you would be an example to follow.

Stagger setup on an R32 with F-R-swaybars. I hope that he adjusted it more stiff in the rear or major understeer, no? Of course, the car is beautiful and I'm sure that he knows what he's doing. On top of that, he put spacers. I don't know about Skylines, but when I drove my friend's WRX (w/ spacers), it did not feel quite as good as without.

fucking awesome.
can't get better than this

great choice, love this feature.

absolutely love it!! *tu*

Holy shit there is a LOT of money spent on this car.

Respect lol

very knowledgeable; yes the car understeers considerably, mostly around Mecaglisse, to correct this i have already ordered the biggest swaybar made for GTRs, Cusco's

not nearly as much as you would think, because of 3 things;
1. the car came already very well mofidied from japan
2. alot of parts were bought second hand, or in group buys, or @ Perry Auto
3. i did 90% of the labor on the car

it still means that all 4 wheels are always driven, unlike a GTR where it is normally RWD and can go up to 50/50 awd
