It's a drift car so the diff is welded, we fitted the hydrolic handbrake this evening as well as a few other bits and bobs. It has HUGE wheels on it which isn't great for drifting. Nothing mental about it but it's awesome fun. It has different suspension etc etc and a modifyed M3 engine, nothing to mental though.

The most intresting thing about the car is that the genuine German WWII firemans helmet on the roofrack glows in the dark :D

Rick, going from using servo assisted brakes to non assisted brakes takes a little getting used to. They feel good though. If however they arn't then it's just a case of getting the right MC for the application. It's not a big deal.

Ive always loved this car, its good to see your still playing with it and buying new bits for it. but because of this car it has made me build mine and spent the £0000s i have:mad: god dam you Dar lol

your brakes never worked as they should ve becuase you never got them up to temperature they were too big imo, dar wont have that problem i suspect i have driven will foys car with the same set up on 290mm willwood 4 pots and when cold they are a pig but get the heat in them and they work a treat after a few minutes you soon get used to the pedal being rock hard

My brakes were fine on a car with a servo though so imho they were not to big and while mapping i can assure you they did get hot.

Anyhoo since the car was up in the air I thought I would take a piccy of the underside to show just how much this splitter covers.

Last year was a rubbish year. So I can't give you a proper answer, it felt good but I didn't manage any proper laps. I may run the car with the splitter off and then put it on to see if I can feel any difference this year.

Each fastener needs a spring. I can't remember the size of the ones I bought though.
