Hachi Roku is an unknown quantity at this point
Default makes me laugh

all the people coming on the site say:

i need more bhp
more torque
faster
faster
faster

but they forget one VERY importaint thing, BRAKES! There is no point in having a monster bhp motor if you brakes are about as big as polo mints.

BUT thats your choice, personally id put a big brake kit on before i even replaced the panel filter. its not worth the risk in my eyes.

what do you think?

BTW im still wearing my flameproof suit :P

Good point - but stopping is for wimps! - let the other guy chicken out!!! - Only joking - i've nothing against poultry!

The main site includes quite a bit of info on brakes and yes I agree that most people ignore this important aspect of driving.

The most asked questions is "How can I get more power without spending money! "
