To4e compressor housing, 60-1 hifi compressor wheel, big shaft, ball bearing, stage V (T-350) turbine wheel, with the .50a/r T4 hot side.

I too like the different look of your car but are have you ever felt lack of downforce running without any rear spoiler / wing before? I realise that you're about to go with one but just curious.

Yes I very much feel the rear getting light and the lack of a planted feeling, this is why I am setting up a second hatch with the wing for high speed and the track. I prefer the no wing look.

So you're going to run a 2nd hatch just for track days? That's what I'm planning as I want to keep the lexan in as good condition for longer. I wonder if the lexan can be tinted and would that help with the yellowing from the sun or invite it?

I am going to the track for the first time this season next weekend. It will be more of a test and tune for the car. I did this same event lst year and found a few things I did not like and have not tracked it since.
Just recently I had the front struts revealved, and installed a rear wing and front spoiler. With these two things the car felt completely different, the revalveing of the struts made it a different car.
I also lowered it a bit and put on my track tires and wheels. I tried to take it out and it rubbed a bit in the back in one place and I need to role the fender a bit. I still need to have it aligned and corner balanced, this will happen next week.
I liked how clean it looked befor, but it is easy enough to go back to that. I still like the way it looks with the aero stuff though, it was not what I was originaly going for but I found it was realy needed.

I have not gone much over 120 with it but there is a real difference above 80. The car used to feel a little floaty above 100, now it is solid. I am interested to see how it does on the track with heavy breaking at 130mph. Breaking was the real problem on the track last year.
