love the new candy blue.

and the new surge pot with pump in pot (done by Simpsons). No more twin pump setup nor fuel cut issues on track and I can run it to the low fuel warning light on track.

Thanks I was unsure at first..... but since it is a track car, I went for it.

Julian and Nigel (aka Simpsons) had raised eyebrows but when the wheels came, they were all sold on it as well.

I bought Sebastian's car thinking it was all done re mods for track usage. Many $$$$ later.....

I added (all by Simpson)
1) weld reinforcement plates to rear chassis
2) welded subframe to rear chassis
3) turner motorsport monoball RTAB
4) turner motorsport monoball bushings anywhere recommended by Simpsons
5) Intrax 1k2 dampers
6) supersprint race exhaust and resonated mid pipe
7) surge pot assembly
8) spare set of CSL alloys for wet weather tyres
9) new power steering pipes
10) stereo, AC condenser and compressor removal
11) anti-gravity rs20 lithium phosphate battery


plus open up engine, diff and transmission for inspection (luckily they were in tip top condition)
and all the cosmetic bits and it all adds up

finally the wear and tear items associated with track use:bigcry:

Car is perfect on track even for my skills. and, touch wood, dead reliable.

i love it.:smt055

I'm now thinking of rear and side plexiglass and maybe sides with louvres. Has anyone done this?

Top work, I'm loving it. Wheels are class looking, guy near me does Candy coloured wheels, paint in from the US, must take a look at his colour chart sometime.
