how u manage to kill a xud????

i would think it would be easier to stick another 1.9 in, however as they are more or less the same i would think u would have to do some wireing to get the 2.1 working.

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.
