Triumph Ltd. and Triumph Motor Car are actually two different companies, but yeah Triumph triples are a gem.

It would such the air right out of the intake.
I saw one once that had a snorkel that reached up over the roof.

Just about any car can be made to handle fairly well. Given the amount of money put in I would say it's likely that it has a decent suspension setup. I will ask at the next C&C.

Thats a sweet ride i remember my first car was a fiero v6 gt. It was like a mini muscle car the sound was unreal and the intake would sound like a jet when you would hit the throttle. Parts are just to rare to find now days.

Upgrade your ride with the new wooden kit. Notice the rear diffuser so smoothly cut out for that extra flair!
