Lovely car.

Do we have any vids of it running yet?

(Although maybe I think the orange straights are a bit much) :shutup:

I would love to hear a K-series on ITB's

Ride is quite teeth shattering, but she's set pretty hard! Gaz are always going to be better as they're damping adjustable as well. But to be honest I do prefer the little bit more comfort the KW's give on the road. For serious track use though the Gaz's are ace :D

Oh my god, what have you done

Orange obsession got out of hand :rofl:

It looks what it is, a wonderful track car, not too blingy, just right. Take it easy on Thursday and keep it smooth

Not sure if still the case, but you might need to buy the tyres blankets for the winter, they were prone to cracking in freezing temperatures, perhaps wrap them in a new fleece.

Toyo 888 tyres will only last about 4 track days if your pushing on. However, competition tyres should be stored in a dry area and in the dark and better still not piled one on top of another, this keeps them in good condition
