iM Feature: Nick Chow’s AP1

Yuuuuup!!!

If Nick Chow’s S2K had to be summed up in two words, those words would definitely have to be “form” and “function”. Inspired by the J’s Racing JGTC S2000, this whip was definitely built to murder the track. I could probably write a whole article on Nick’s AP1 but I think I’ll let the modifications list/pictures do the rest of the talking.
