Lol thans apps. Good thing the parts car is 3 hours away.

The paj is a regular old flex machine it loves flexin it up all over the place.

Might have blue slip on the green one fairly soon, just gotta tighten up some bolts and although impossible stop the bitch from leaing oil or at least stem the flow and then make a new Y pipe from the extractors to the MUFFler.
