It only happened after I took it to a local mechanic just to do front wheel bearing. Well he thrashed the vehicle so bad a mate actually witnessed my car drifting up a local street while I was at work. Exhaust and downpipe was installed at nizpro

How did your mate rate the drift, 1 - 10 with 10 being fully sick. Any photos or video. This is me at 9 /10 Edited 26/05/19 10:53 AM by arronm

Check for rusty stain at the engine mount. Limit drifting until you fix it.. Or keep drifts at 1 / 10 Edited 26/05/19 11:03 AM by arronm
