Indeed your're correct.
The wing is ok, not very well made but after a little bit of fettling it was alright. I'd go genuine though if i was you, only reason i used it was because i want wider front eventually.
Paradox1:
How do you find the tyres? Im thinkin the nankangs or federal 595 for both road and track
FJ1000:
Nice!! Looks a great project.
Out of interest, did you weigh the stuff coming out of the car, or have an idea how much the car weighs now?
What else do you have planned? I'm sure a map and brake upgrade would pay big dividends on track.

I've got NS2R's on my track TT and I'll warn you now - they're horrible in the wet! Even with haldex. Ended up buying another set of wheels to mount some continental sport contact 5's onto (which are excellent in the rain) as a "wet" setup.
Excellent in the dry though, as are the federals. Very grippy on a dry track.

:happy2: I should of weighed everything, there was so much. I even unpicked all the redundant wiring, so the only wires left going to the back are for lights and demister. Door control modules are gone, hard wired the motors in with a basic switch on each door, so only 2 wires in each door. Anything to do with airbags are gone, bottom of the dash is all cut out. Spot weld drilled any bracket that are no longer needed, complete AC setup gone, Every trace of sound deading gone.
Not much more left i can get rid of! unless i start hole sawing things! :signLOL:
