Some of you may have spotted the car at Valla. had it in pieces trying to throw it all together for the trip.

Made a GT2rs style front splitter and extended the guards and trimmed an inch off the bottom of the bonnet. ties the front end together

New wheels i found on gumtree brand new never been on a car with 25 year old new rubbber. 17 x 8.5 and 17 x 10. backs are 275's.

still working on the grill which may end up with active louvers.

Also got a bug tech shifter which is amazing. No bumping the knee on the berg shifter..the best!

Made another front cover to reduce the opening to the radiator as it should not be more than 1/3 the radiator surface area. 1/4 is often perfect, with the distance from the radiator the same as the height to give time for the air to expand, slow down and increade in pressure to pass through the radiator where you try and speed it back up on exit.

Running slightly cooler today in testing and will have much less drag. still was fine to Valla and back, just not optimum.
