I think you should let me have the car and then you can buy a proper car like an MX-5 or a non turbo Impreza.

You don't need style when you've got strength!


That is a ridiculously clean install, I hope mine can look half that nice when its finished.

Not sure if you posted it before but what suspension and brakes are you going with on this beast?

Thanks!

I have 356mm 8 pot monoblock K Sport brakes with Pagid RS29s. Earlier in the thread everyone was giving me poo poo for it but they seem absolutely great. I have friends with the APs and they can't out brake me for example. Obviously there are variables but I am more than happy.

My dampers are Schirmer KW V3s with turner top mounts and custom springs/helpers.

I'll sell them in the summer and get Intrax to make me a custom ARC setup for the ring and spa. Will stick new turrets in when we tie cage through firewall as well.

There's 295 pilot sports on em ATM.
I'll see if I can find some massive Nankang AR1s in 295/255.
Ignore the brand and read the reviews. It's apparently a direzza 03G for half the price.
Very excited to try them out tbh.

In our local race series drivers have seemed a bit disappointed with the AR-1s and switched back to Kumho. Except those sponsored by Nankang, but I haven't noticed even them praising them that much. Though they don't run as wide rubber as you are planning to.

Seeing as the Nankangs I've dealt with were unmitigated poo poo (one set on a Suburban refused to balance and eventually started delaminating, another pair on a 280ZX just popped belts), I sincerely hope that their quality control is far better than it was in the early 2000s.

I'll give em a go. I've got a source for full slicks now from a pal in the BTCC. So will run those on the enkeis on UK track days. Ring I just need something pretty grippy and progressive. All my Schirmer pals run direzzas but I can't justify Direzzas if I can spend half as much, have as much fun and go 90% as quickly.

Anyways! Here's a little walk around. It sounds absolutely mental in real life. Dampers are arriving Monday! Hopefully I'll have it back next weekend.
