Hay rick ever light up the wheels in the gsr, this likely explains how it is
very possible to linelock these for as long as u want or till u blow the
tyre. A mate of mine had one of these and he used to leave black lines from
one end of my street to the other, and he used to think it was really funny
how the cops would always come to my car (lowered 1600) to check the tyres
while ignore his parked behind it hahahhaa. Tod
