yeah, not cardinal, mines cardinal red it's a maroon. also how can you have a very tight lsd and a mini spool? i do believe it's one or the other, unless one is not fitted? other then that, not a bad car. should of invested the afm money into an ecu though Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
