Why So Warped?
Why do the rear bumpers on our cars get warped. I have noticed it on most 480's I have seen an I don't like it... What do people reckon causes this? I thought it might be heat from the exhaust perhaps? I would like to get a straight replacement but dont want to put a new one on if it's going to do t...

Turbo Tease Game
I've got a good game to play if you want to tell someone how good your car is.<br><br>My friend Phil is trying to find a 480 turbo, but can't cos he's too lazy. He wants one. <br><br>Basically if you get the chance, drop him a line and ask him why he doesn't have a turbo yet. And how good your car i...

RE: Door

Re: I need 2 Tyres.
I played this game the other day on the same web-site. I went for 2 avon zv1's speed H. These were replacing goodyear eagle venturas. I thought i'd give them a go as they had similar tread patterns. I'd recomend either of these but not sure on the firestones. Good cheap place to get tyres eh? Half t...

Bumper Stripes
I reckon take them off and leave them off. I did on my black 480 turbo and i reckon it looks much better. Come off cuite easily with a little bit of heat from a hairdryer just to soften them up. <p></p><i></i>
