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.

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).

Little mini mod in the form of a Brodit ProClip phone mount;

Had to scratch some flocking off as part of fitting which was a bit nerve wrecking  :scared:

It's in a good place for speed camera alerts / maps and Harrys lap timer :)
