Default Cyril’s build – Lighter and Wider – Thanks to IFC Racing

Some of you may remember that I lost control of my car turn 7 at Tremblant and finished in the tire wall!
I was not proud… :-(

The car was still straight, the alignment too, but the left side of the car was damaged. I finished the season with my “Two-Face” car and started to look for the different options.

Sorry, I just found this picture as I stopped to take pictures of that side of the car after this… ;-)

It was only cosmetic (thanks to the tire wall!) so I decided to take the opportunity to replace the parts with fiberglass and make the car lighter (and wider).
I did a lot of research about the different fiberglass manufacturers and I selected the one that offers the best fit and finish: IFC Racing and Mike Warner. Fantastic guy!
Mike supported me every day, every night, every week-ends during my build. Thank you so much Mike!

I received the parts in January.

Good for you Cyril. That's Super Wide! What wheels are you going to run with?
Mike's a great guy to deal with and has some great parts. Plus, as you mentioned, he really works with the customer if it's something different or unusual. Look forward to seeing this project's progress!!

Thank you guys!

Yes, I installed the body parts myself. It was just a little tight in my 10x20 garage but I wanted to be close to my familly.
I installed the rear fenders with Dzus fastners and decided to build a one piece nose.
If you are interested I can post more pics tonight.

Patrick, I will start to run with 10.5x18 front and 11x18 rear (R6 255 and 285).
If I need more tire, I will go bigger.

That will leave a lot of room in your wheel well.
