    a 19t is still a small turbo mate and its not an auto so i can slip the clutch straight into the powerband, it'll have any 15/16t'd motor from the lights even with the lsd it spins like mad, i was pulling wheelspins off the power in 3rd at 80mph yesterday on a wet road lol

    Maybe that's a tad harsh, they don't suit every car.

    Not that I'm biased or anything but I really like the egg crate type grills, I'm trying to get my brother to get one for his, suits the 850's really well.
