Nice.

Who makes your IC's? All the Champion products, but yet you chose not to run Werks1 IC's?

Thanks! Awesome car you have!

No problem happy to help.

I only have the champion aerokit for my car.

Power mods are mostly FVD with Epic Tuning turbos and aerospace intercoolers.

Does your suspension have a hydraulic lift? I am trying to find out if the RSS lower control arms will work with a hydraulic lift system.

Let me check around to make sure, but I really think I should get the LCAs.

Well I can't comment on the difference between changing a few parts at a time and the stock setup but I can comment on doing the whole lot at once at it is like night and day!!!

The more I drive it the more I learn the way it behaves and there is so much grip with no roll at all it's mind boggling.

The rear end finally does not feel like a pendulum instead it follows the front and just grips and grips and grips and it also shows how much confidence I can put into the michelins too as they cope so well.

I love it!

You will never look back, I know I wont.

Yes it is slightly more bouncy here and there and yes there is more road noise if the roads being driven on are bad but I can live with that.

I cannot wait to get it on a track!
