Nice, Thanks for that! I contacted ERP about the possibility of a set of these that provide more caster as well and Cary replied that they do make them on special order. I see you guys did some grinding for the rear bolt on the top hat as well. Are these the extra caster version?

I’m not sure. Might show Cary the pics and ask him?
i don't love the RE71R tires. I like NT01 better. NT01 have a bit more squish to them. Hard to explain, but it gives the car a slightly 'less' direct feel with good grip. I like the feel of the NT01 quite a bit better. It may be because i've burned dozens of sets of them to the cords and just like the feel. Ultimate grip RE71R is probably better. Maybe I get used to it. maybe not.
chassis compliance, it's good with the Clubsports, if firm. going to a TTX would be an upgrade, but given i'm not using the car on track much, not sure the value is there
Gearing. This needs addressing. 2 is too short, 3 is OK, 3-4 is ok, 2-3 drop is too much. Won't do this until I build the motor.
Motor... go ***** out, or go 'enough' hmm..... i'm not known to do the latter when it comes to mechanicals....

Can you guys get A050 and A052 tires there? They are considered the best tires available in Japan by most. How about giving them a shot? The A050 is a bit louder aw it wears but longer lasting. The A052 is basiacally the same tire with a more street friendly pattern but will wear the tread off quick if you overdrive your camber settings or have too much pressure in them. I run the A050's I wish I could compare them to the NT01 but sadly we can't get those here.
