  4. That's Stunning Lee, excellent work and attention to detail. They really don't need a lot extra but the bits it looks like you have done really add to it.
     
  5. Cheers mate, it's the suspension which is the special bit for me, the ohlins have gone and been replaced with nitron r3 suspension.

  13. Very nice dude. Did they have to cut the centre consol much for the shifter? I am considering one myself constantly lol

  23. Wish I'd got an R instead of just a Trophy but never mind!

    How much better are these Nitrons compared to Ohlins? They're like £6k aren't they? I mean the Ohlins are just amazing so these would have to be pretty special to warrant the extra cost.

  25. The ohlins are very good as a fast road/track day suspension but you have minimal adjustment when it comes to race setup camber/caster etc and the car on a fast flowing track like donnington can feel quite loose which is good fun but not quick, so with the nitrons r3 the car feels so much more planted as it should do because of the better setup and spring rates, the car feels a lot harder on the road but I've set my car up for the track only. Cost wise nitron r3 kit cost me a lot less than 6k more like 4k so imo it was good value for money for what I want to do with the car and as nitron are a U.K. Company it is easy to get stuff sorted i.e. Springs, warranty (if needed) etc which is something to think about when buying suspension.
