Nice car, but there's this chick who keeps getting in the way and spoiling the pics!
Lotus boys would have a field day with this photo, I can see the SELOC thread title "3 VX220's parked up"

Love the videos at Le Mans Bugatti circuit, expecially chasing the GT3RS. Very, very impressive acceleration from your car!. I'm equally impressed you still appear to be getting maximum boost after a few laps of very hard driving. Your car has an intercooler only, is that correct? I lose boost very quickly due to the intake temperature increasing.
I'll have a good look around your website to see what other mods you have. Might give me a few ideas for mine. Oh, and I defintely need to lose another 30kg from the car. I thought my car was light at 845kg

800kg planned at the end of the year and target at 780kg. But it takes time...

Last ultra light piece, the right end engine mounting made in one piece of extra hard aluminium 7075, oversized compared to oem :
Result is minus 0,84kg at a strategic place !
I have some clones so if interested, email me.
