That look amazing Chris What are the extra little ducts for below the normal "ears"? for brake cooling?

[chris]

These are additional lower side vent : The left one feed additionnal oil cooler The right one increase air flow in my large intercooler. I have only installed brake scoop duct for front brake in place of fog light.

They looks absolutely fantastic Chris. What rubber are you running and have you noticed any improvements in handling???

[chris]

Rubbers are YOKO AO48R LTS, my old rims was OZ Superleggera with a similar weight (and YOKO rubbers too), but with different ET for front rims (35 mm). So, these new rims with OEM ET (25 mm & 33 mm) I have to set again my front shock absorber (OLHINS 2 ways). May be I can see is slight improvement of handling due to increase of front ET, but I should improve again my shock absorber and geometry settings.

Out of all the people who mod their cars on here, Chris is in the top 5 what weight you at now chris? power? Cost?

[chris]

Last October 2005, my car was weight on the scale of Montlhery motor-racing track for 887 kg (with fuel tank full, hard top and all its mandatory accessories) Since this date, I save 21 kg more ... So, today, it's weight should be of 866 kg (in the same conditions) Engine power should be about of 270 Hp, but I have just received larger fuel injectors and my spare ECU reprogrammed with REGELIN phase 3 (the best phase 3, in term of technique approach, I had found), and I hope to increased power up to 285-290 Hp. For your information, at date, EDS phase 3 is installed on my car. This upgrading is announced on the paper for 302 Hp, but never found more than 270-275 Hp ... For the money, that was a long time ago I do'nt count, when you love you don't count ... (Have you a list of all gifts you have offered to your wife or your girlfriiend)

what size are they on that car 17 rear and 16 front cos they look a little smaller to me like 15 or 16s?

[chris]

May be it is photo optical effect, but it is 16" for front and 17" for rear.
