Re: Which arms should I choose? http://partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?4374 2024-03-28T16:52:10+00:00 Martin Tommy, you are right. Those arms were originally made on your car for the fitment, therefor you and I are famous(you are already famous). Japanese drifters are feelin what we do I like it. Strippers should hang out, but first we need to build you a pretty solid pole through the gold trunk tied and to the roll cage ... i have some roll cage materials...
