Blimey, fit it upside down and pick up enough speed and you can probably get off the ground with that wing. Nice!

Compression looks great, testament to the fact you've taken good care of the car. Is that improved since your last test as well?

Beautiful build mate, a hell of a lot of the stuff on this is exactly how I hope mine will be looking in the future!

Let us know how the EDFC is, I love the idea of adaptive suspension on a car not originally equipped for it :)
