Most cars going on as taxis now are Toyota hybrids (Prius and Camry).The cost of LPG has gotten too high.Keep checking Pickles Auctions and Manheim Auctions.

The plazmaman turbo side is noisier than the p/west version I believe because of the custom silicon so it might be ok for most. My son loves it though and I do think the bay looks cleaner without the crossover. It does sound mad coming on boost. The spool is nuts If you want it to be 'stealthy' or keep it pretty civilised then no, don't do it. It doesn't piss me off enough to change it. It's just those times when you're cruising and don't want to be in race car mode that it feels a little unrefined.

Had a bit of a dud kart on Sunday and did 1.28 flat. My son at 60kg did a low 1:27 so chopped me for the day.

Ford wanted $88 each but that includes the rocker and you can't separate so...over 2k, lol. Can't understand why I didn't buy them haha
