Hi mate,

I'm still overseas

Wheel/Tyre combination look great. That and the suspension have transformed the car apparently - I thought it handled well before but I have been told it is chalk and cheese! It is a little lower but actually rides over bumps etc. better now.

I'll keep you posted on the MoTeC1 plate

Race Car is slow! but positive.

The company looking after my car are one of the best MoTeC Installers in the country. They are ECU and ADL Dealers: www.citypeformancecentre.com - hence the number plate, and possibly a little more

Eibach springs and dampers all round, it is slightly lower also. Rims are 9.5 inch wide on the rear, guards had to be rolled (lipped).

If they are installing a Motec then it will be very interesting to see what a well tuned motec will have the Renesis putting out. I look forward to the further info you will have for us as it becomes available.

Cheers

It is only a 4 port (Auto) at this stage, so power on its own may not be that much more - but we have a couple of things up our sleve!

Someone in Selectmaz VIC has already done some 6 port Renesis. They have posted here and Lock has confirmed that for us.

No doubt they are great but I am more interested in price and the ability for myself to road tune at my own leasure.
