Awesome car.. Can I ask what brand the silicone cooler piping is? Seems much easier than getting them made up.

No idea. I will ask some of the guys who installed the turbo. They may remember. Failing that I will check it out in the daylight.

Next up, matching bronze 6ULs (this will give you the option of upgrading your brakes too).

- I REALLY want to see bronze rims on this car!

Nah, the RPF1's are awesome. If you want bronze, paint the Enkeis.

I would not trade my enkeis for anything. their lightness gives you razor sharp turn in. Yes I would like a big brake kit, but not at the cost of giving up the enkeis.

Forgot about the custom undertray on my car. Can't see a bleeding thing. BOught the gear off BCHlor and I think Sean knew his car pretty well.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Damn!
Just got back from working in brisbane for the week - Should have organised to check the beast out while I was up there!

The silicon pipes are from an AVO kit.

I think whitena6 II here might have a set he'd sell if someone wants some - I recently sold him some alum AVO ones cause he didn't like the look of the silicon ones.
When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for letting me drive your car the other night, fantastic car! Makes mine feel like a floppy clunky toy :lol:
Couple of questions, your Sparco seat, is it a Sprint?
Also, your first post mentions King springs, but a later post says you changed springs but not the type... Is it still on Kings?

No problems Andrew. The seat is a Sprint. The springs I got from richard at mx5 plus. No idea what the springs are. Before the car was even lower on king springs.
Looking at the suspension on Tuesday with my mechanic, to sort out the scraping at Glorious.
Will probably go coilovers BC or Ohlins.
