Considered the amount of failed Cam followers overseas they seem quite rare in UK and Europe, scary to look at though. The tyre rack looks ace Neil, now you just need some of these along with wider tyres up front  :happy2:  :P

Hi danish, are those the carbon ones you have? guess you dont really need to fit the linners do you.

Hi Neil, No mine are the Seibon ones, they are only 10 mm wider, the ones in the link is 30mm wider than stock. The Seibon ones are glassfiber covered in CF.

Over the top mod list ;o)

Re your latest engine cover....  You better stop taking the drugs, Neil! It's the only thing on your car I don't like, to be honest.

Cool pics at Spa, especially up from Eau Rouge  :notworthy:

Truly an amazing car Neil, absolutely love it. The little homemade touches of CF in certain places and things like the engine cover and rear carpet all add up.

Keep the updates coming mate, really like what your doing. :happy2:

One of my most favorable bits  :grin:

Neil, what tire and rim size do you use ? Me and rex will be buying the Kerscher fenders next months. For me they are a must since I'm now on 8x18'' TD 1.2 + 235/40/18 Toyos (wich are 245 in reality) + TT arms wich take the wheel out by another 7-8mm !

I thought about wider arches, I have two sets of 225/40/18 wheels which have OK clearance ATM, if I went a bit wider I'd look into it.

What are you doing at the back?
