Oz racing superturismo are some mega dope wheels. Pity you have to give them back.

Car is coming along well. When is the next track outing?

Ready for R888 205/50/15

Good to hear you are going for the R888.

Carbon bonnet thanks to Ausgolfer and a 2nd set of cruddy rims bought whilst the 15x7's are waiting for R888's.

How about removing the spot lamps, it's extra unused weight and will alow a little extra cooling.
Do you need the rear bumper?? Might look a but odd tho.
And does the bonnet need slots in it? so overheating doesn't become a later issue. Or you could just tilt the bonnet to allow heat to escape.
Just a few thoughts

found this for liftin the rear of the bonnet

Just loosen the bolts and tilt the bonnet forward as much as possible. I did this and you do get some decent airflow.

Bit of an update for you guys:

Today the car was towed to a mechanic for installation of:
- 2.25 exhaust with muffler
- Mk3 duel down pipe and manifold
- Racing seat
- Few odds and ends that I couldnt do.

Not long to go, just need to get some rubber on my rims and away we go testing
