OMG! That's a bomb!

Can't wait to see it properly tested on a track.

Is there any point in the fluiddamper? Benefits?

Point is I don't have one yet haha

It's meant to lessen the noise of the SMF. I'll report back what I think

...and will keep the rpms up during shifting but the downside is that it will reduce engine brake.

Two things that I should be able to notice the difference on track

Does a little bit on some cars. Also helps with the harmonics of the engine.

SMF too noisey. Must get louder exhaust and intake to drown out the SMF

Carbon tailgate or a pair of Recaro Pole positions?

Recaro Pole Position!!!

I don't know how other seats are but these are very comfortable. The support is top class, as you would expect.
The sides are a bit too high but you might find lower sides from Raeder Motorsport (I intend to contact them regarding this).
