One problem of making the car lower is that the mainshafts loose the angle and break down.
I have made a new gearbox support (-1.5kg) this brings the whole gear box up 60mm and this way the car recover the angle between the gear box and the wheels.
The gear shift axle is now running over the transmission tunnel instead of in the interior as std one.
By the way I modified the making a home made short shift.

Front end and safty cage
The front is now more or less done one thing left is that we has to open up vents in the hood to get out all that hot air. We finished The front splitters is to day (no pics yet). They are made of carbon and kevlar, They are hard enough to cut the cars in front of us in to pieces and by the way they wont be fixed to the bumper we will bolt them directly to the chassis
