That is spectacular. And the ducktail is really growing on me - great choice. By the way, do you think you are getting enough downforce at speed with the ducktail?

Also, when and where are we going to see the rest of these pictures like above?

Please inform me where your car is parked at night. I am considering stealing it.

Fantastic!!!!

Can you please let me know the tire sizes you are running?
I am about to take on a RSR or GT2 conversion as well and I am pondering between those two...

Jussi, PM sent.

FYI: Factory GT2 wheels were 9X18 Et 18 & 11X18 Et 33 and tires were 235 & 285 but that's a bit different "beast" so I'm not sure with GT2 uprights etc. if the wheel mounting points are in the same place.

What's on there at the moment.

- Tires - 245/40 front and 295/30 rear

Suspension has been adjusted since those photos as was overly cambered and had tire rubbing issues.

Thanks guys!

A couple of more questions to you Thatcher:

1. Would you be able fit more rubber in front and rear if the ET was less aggressive? (i.e. is there room on the inside?)
2. Where can I get the same flares? Are these the ones FVD sells?
3. What skirts are those? Turbo skirts? If not, where can I get those?

I think I will start my GT2 conversion with going RSR first. It will be easy to upgrade to GT2 later on by just replacing the rear quarters and flares to the wider ones.
