We are off to Vancouver Island July 6th - 13th following a similar itinerary
as PTCC.

If you fly back on the 18th we could possibly organize something for the 19th.
Sorry, not flying back till the 19th and Calabogie starts on the 20th.
That vancouver thing looks fun, I could talk my wife into that some other time.

Nope, did not try any high speed cornering yet, but I will never feel down force besides that there seems grip and mysteriously I lose a few tenths.

PS. Don't mow any lawns, stay on the blacktop (or graytop as the case maybe).

There is always a new iPhone, the latest is the new iPhone, resistance is futile.

The interior of trakcar 1.1 makes me vomit, not nice at all. Lose the gauges, replace the white center console with my cayman console or a carbon overlay. I know a company on the west coast that overlays carbon in gloss finish for low bucks!

I'm looking to trade and or sell on Ebay all the clown crap inside but first Mancation.
I can live with the *** white inside does not look too bad with the white roll bar, but I can't deal with the red crap.

The instrument surround does not bother me, you barely see it but I will replace for black of CF whatever is cheaper when I sell the white center console and buy and alcantara one. only if I succeed in that will I go plain gauges, if I can't get rid of white console and surround for $$ then I make red gauges white.

In other words, I will pay to get rid of red crap, but I wont py to get rid of white crap.

That is why it is all listed for sale and trade here on Rennlist, but I guess no one like the crap.
I'm not a member at 6speed and i really don't want to deal with it myself.
Orbit will put it on ebay when I get back from mancation along with the Ti exhaust, PCCB etc.

The red gauges are sold, both the instrument cluster and Sport Chrono.
The instrument surround is sold, the white center console has a few interested parties, but now I think it might look OK with the white roll bar. If it sells I will go alcantare, seems the fit the RS intrior to me.

Definitely upgrading to the NoDrone Orbit center only exhaust, headers are a few years out. Looking at more brake cooling, perhaps bigger front rubber in front and regear the gear box eventually unless I stumble into Trakcar 3 first..

Still have my Ti OEM center muffler for sale, red mirror covers, red door pulls and the white center console.

These should be at Orbit next week and painted silver to match the rest of the silver:

Must have for me. I waited to long!!
