Methinks this can will rarely be driven hard enough to judge handling.

Does look impressive though.

Black flashes are sweet. But could you live with it as a day to day car? (I think "yes" :))

That is absolutely stunning, perhaps a little OTT to use as my everyday car but none the less amazing :) Can we have some more pics and what are those wheels?

Hi! The car will be driven at numerous trackday events this summer but first it will attend a couple of autoshows here in Sweden and Norway. Spec: Speedster NA with the original engine (at least for now) It will be tuned later but I want to drive it on track this summer in its oridinal shape and tune the engine next vinter. As for modifications it is as follows. Front spoiler with splitter and an opening for air to flow under the car made of carbonfibre, fenderwings, sideskirts to prevent air from escaping on the sides made of carbonfibre, rearwing with NACA airfoil adjustable and very light made of carbonfibre, Kawasaki mirrors with smothed out brackets. All these parts are handmade by me. The interior has two Toora raceseats modified to fit the car, Toora 3" harnesses with a very special harnessbar with an integrated kamera holder. The car rolls on Toora Wheels 8x17" with 215/45 and 8x18" with 235/40 These wheels will be changed as soon as I get a set of lighter ones in the summer. The tires are Dunlop Supersport Race. Spax RSX sorts the handling. The handling of the car is very good but I miss a bit of power..........

Not too sure on the spacers but cool on everything else. On the wing, I've just got back from CB people and we've now got plans together for wing, rear difuser, front splitter (both VXT ones and new full splitter), intakes and rear bootlid a la Sprint car all in CB. Gonna be busy.
