Easily Add Power with Tunit Tuning
Tunit provides an efficient and adaptable method of enhancing a vehicles performance (power and torque) without the need to alter the vehicles original equipment or programming. The advantages of the Tunit are; adjustment for optimum efficiency (both manually, by the customer and electronically, via a PC by a distributor), flexibility, as in movement from one vehicle to the next and ease of installation. The principle of Tunit is to provide all these advantages that previous methods of tuning such as EPROM replacement and "flashing" or OBD tuning could not.

They are original wheels for this car,very rare.13x6,tires are almost new.

Pologround(herman) owns the car,ask him he may sell them.I bet they wont be cheap though since i have not seen any other sets of these around before.

After a long winter and alot of welding,here is my finished product.Its the same car sorta,lol.Or should I say its A NEW CAR!

Hermans silver bullet is shaping up nicely IMO.I used sikkens paint,its a euro paint very expensive but worth it all the way.
