UPDATE on the car... What does a car guy like myself buys himself on his Birthday?
How about we start with a new AZG crankshaft for his 2.0 litre conversion...

To make the car lighter we get a custom built Eurogear (light weight version) Carbon Fibre hood. More details on this CF hood and my previous CF hood on a later post.

To keep things cooler under the CF hood and to relieve/reduce the high pressure that forms under the hood which may ultimately increase downforce on the front end I got hood louvers.
These are the RunCool medium size, aluminium made, semi gloss black powder coated, high flow rate model.

Last but not least I got word today that my Clutch Master FX600 twin disk clutch/steel billet LWFW assembly was on its way to my engine builder to get checked out and balanced if need be.

Well a lot of others mods are tied in to the 2.0L upgrade so big $$$. Hopefully it will be...
Ready for April.
