Your car would look 1000 times better with some sideskirts, I didn't think yellow brakes would work on a yellow car but I was wrong, they look pretty bad *** actually. nice ride, you're off to a great start

here is what's under the hood. The outside looks like many others, albeit different rims and clear corners.

Some nice new pics taken by pros from my track day at the weekend:
I had a great track day at a new venue in the UK:

The place is called Blyton Park, and its an old yank bomber base from WWII.
A real car enthusiast has recently renovated it, and laid fresh tarmac into the old tarmac of the runways, t make an entertaining track day circuit (its only for track days, not racing)



Car went very well, and I am now focussing on cooling etc so I can bash in more laps without getting paranoid about overheating etc.....

Also will add some cool pics from Xteme photo here too:

Now where were we?


Ah yes!

One of my faves:


mmm fat rear wheels AND Apex cone clipping!



Finally: Fresh targets!



Also I managed to get another 3 generation special!
