Each has a small edge in one way or another with their various engineering, but end of the day as long as they're round they work the same haha.

So a couple updates to my thread (whether you care or not)


First thing! I never knew you could be depressed from not having your car for nearly 2 weeks because of a small issue. It could be a bunch of other little personal problems adding to it, and the car is just the icing on the cake, but man I haven't been this down in a while. I hate having to rely on other people. -___-

Second thing!! There are some great updates I have coming, as soon as my car is finished. Some are cosmetic and others are engine-based. Just gotta wait till my car is back so I can go to the paint shop and have them attach it. (The $70 drill I got can barely drill through thick plastic, so it makes me wonder if it will even be capable of drilling through metal).

And as there are no visual for this update.... Here's a Peel P50 for ya!

@Amputechture I hope this helps! Probably gonna detail her for some photo shoots this next weekend.

Also, I'm in the process of moving to good ol' Austin, Tx so any thing happening to my car won't happen till probably next year some time.

Got your PM, but for anyone else curious, I bought it on Japan Parts, but apparently it isn't offered anymore. Nor is it on NigelJDM. Damn shame... :/
