Been out for my first blat
Evening all,
Just been out for my first blat of the year and i have got to say, SHE.....IS........AWESOME!!!!!!! 
Had a miner scare when i realised my front offside wheel was loose  but once tightened i didn't half give it some beans and she took
everything i could through at her!
Suspension needs setting up but i still have my protechs to put on and front anti-roll bar to be fitted but for a first shake down run, i was very
happy. A great feeling to have that great big smile back on my face!
Nut and bolt check tomorrow and i need to set up the digi-dash properly, then its just cosmetic finishers!
cheers
Alex
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

thats ok mate, im running 195/50/15's on mine with Proxy T1R's at about 18-20 psi, but have just secured some OZ Superleggeras with
a048's on same size 195/50/15's (haven't picked them up yet)
there is only only problem with traction and thats when i drop the clutch on full throttle!

I guess the weight of the 'anchor' is a bit irrelevant now then?
