LOL, come on! The avatar is funny! Even for a fellow greek, its just hilarious....

As for the wheels, I will consider OZ, but really really like the forgeline design. Talked with mdrums, and only reservation was it being a 3 piece design. I like track wheels to be 1 piece.

Eggorian, will do. Would you consider just the rotors? Still deciding to either replace system or just rotors.

If I remember correct someone reported some issues with fitment with Forgeline wheels. I think it was stated in a recent thread on Tech1 wheels. I remember something about rubbing against the springs, make a search

I spoke with Champion about the roll bar and seat belt anchor issue we discuss on the forum, what they said was unless the roll bar has the front bars that connect to the front of the driver (6 pt. full cage) no bar will not stop the front of the roof from collapsing there fore not making much difference.

I think it was the thread about the Tech1, one member had some problem with the Tech1 wheels and he mentioned the rubbing problem with Forgeline

Greek: The pics show the buckets with yellow coloring. Do you not want those all leather bucket seats but instead want the Gt2 buckets ?
