Looks good buddy!  A note of caution though, be wary of Greenstuff pads on Track.... maybe consider something like Mintex 1144/55... no offence just from my experience they're not a good choice. Car looks real well though maybe get yourself to one of the Trackdays we do as a group when its finished, hope to see ya there. ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!
