This is one of the nicest builds I've seen done by a private individual. The looks are fantastic, and the performance I'm sure is too given your parts list. I'd love to see some video of you on track in this beast. If you haven't yet, it'd be worth the road-trip to drive the Nurburgring in this beast!

Thanks for the feedback
I tracked it a lot already, though not yet in this final form. I’ll try to get to magny cours in France before November.... Unfortunately my daily wheels just broke down today, and my track wheels are wrapped with slicks; hence not usable in the street to drive to the track. I’ve just purchased a set of volks te37SL 18x9,5 but they need the time to come from Japan

You're doing a great job on this car. What do you think of the coilovers?

Coil overs are a perfect fit on a smooth track (which is what we have in France anyway)
For a daily drive, it’s totally unmanageable - way too stiff, not done for «*normal*» roads. The car has a nvh which is way too high for road drive anyway.

Nope, not easy. The car is illegal for road driving, but there is some tolerance. Unfortunately, I am now way past this tolerance, as the modifications are very noticeable :-/

Ings aero looks so good!!!
Any updates on the SPG XL? Does it work with Nagisa rail perfectly? I want to get that seat too but not so sure about the fitment since it is quite a large seat. |

I did not get the recaro spg. One off my friend has the combo (recaro NOT xl) and the nagisa rails and it works perfectly.
On my side I bought a corbeau revenge X but the halo did not fit in the car... then I bought a sabelt titan XL but the nagisa rails do not fit neither... I just bought planted base seat base, I ll keep you informed of the outcome.

Here is a photo from spa francorchamps
The car behaves perfectly, is neutral and confidence inspiring on high-g turns (1.7g) as well as braking. I started the day doing 2:57 in heavy traffic while discovering the track. Then when I started to attack... the gearbox broke down :-/ It wasted my day, and even more since i need 7 hours road to to there (and 7 hours to come back). I have the money, but I do not have much time to lose. I can't just waste a weekend for those issues, so I have decided to focus on reliability. I could tune down the horsepower, but I got addicted, so that not an option. Hemce I've decided to get a forged engine from bluemoon performance and a sequential gearbox with straight cut gears, either samsonas, quaife or hollinger. That's quite the extreme solution, I know, but if it is what it takes for not wasting weekends...
