Im a bit away from that Muza,Ive thought of a few
gold with cream roof with lace
original blue and white roof with rainbow fleck along the bumps
whatever the colour it will be acrylic and as flat and shiny as I can get it
I love shiny cars and lace :thumbsup:

If you mean the steering link, changing to HR style won't help, they actually bend toward the rear of the sump.
I just changed all my steering to HR, it now hits were the EK one never did :thumbsdown: .

as trev said HR will only make things worse, yor engine is set up to far forward 1. you can't fit a fan and 2. yor steering hits, yor just gunna have to live with it or move yor engine mounts

why doesn't the EJ collum fit :econfused: i've put many in with no dramas

How about some spacer blocks in the engine mounts (between top and bottom bits)?
