Enkie Apache's, 13x7 +0

Federal 595, 205/60/13

I've had the car since mid 2009 and has gone through a lot in that time. The car is virtually new underneath and the motor was rebuilt mid 2011 with spirited driving in mind with the ability of track work. It went down the quater mile at 15.6secs, prior to rebuild and TRD camshafts. A semi trailer clipped the left and side early in 2011 and was left in a hit and run situation, luckily I had insurance to cover the $6k worth of damage.

The car is having a new rust repairs at the moment with the intention of re-painting the roof which looks very tired. That's it for now, enjoy the pictures.

LOVE this, all the right work has been done to make this thing perfect! Clean looks to be an understatement for the attention to detail this car has got...
