The car was initially fitted with 17s within a week upon delivery. However, it was too small to accommodate the light custom bodykit and GT-wing. Hence, 18s were thrown in, matched with 215/35 tires seen here.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(LEFT): After a near death accident trying to gauge the threshold of the 18s traction, car is stripped down to stock look again. (RIGHT): Ahem...that's not carbon fiber, just a stock hood painted black. See below for the real stuff from Race Craft!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(LEFT): Blackened headlights to minimize the chrome bling effect. (RIGHT): Stock trunk lid and rear spoiler painted black too to have a more contrast effect.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(LEFT): Wheels downsized to 15s for track usage. Seen here with SSR Type C 15x6.5 replicas. (RIGHT): Worn out stock rotors are replaced with AXT slotted and cross-drilled at the front. Considering to replace the rears too soon.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All time reliable Falken Azenis RT-215 high performance tires, suitable for daily and track use. Still contemplating to try out those Toyo Proxes R888 semi slicks, as it rains quite often in this part of the world.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Previous Eibach Pro Kit coils are replaced with GAB ride height adjustable coilovers. 8kg front and 5kg rear spring rates.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Braking enhanced with Ferodo Zero pads and Motul 5.1 brake fluid. Previous Motul RBF600 fluid didn't work too well for this car.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stock rubber brake lines replaced with Pro RS steel braided ones.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Momo "MOD07" racing steering wheel replaces my old Momo "Competition", as I needed a slightly dished one. Pretty nice steering except for that ugly looking horn button.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Steering is attached to an Arospeed quick release hub. Seen on the right fitted with my old Momo "Competition".

Hot Bits 4-2-1 stainless steel exhaust manifold complete with full straight flow exhaust system.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sard adjustable fuel pressure regulator installed to tackle my lean air/fuel ratio problem.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fuel pressure boost to 4 bar to run slightly richer. Dyno tuned and tested by LINKS.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(LEFT): Battery relocated to the trunk to allow space for my extended air ram and filter. (RIGHT): Previous battery location fitted with custom heat shield from Speedworks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A'pexi filter shield from engine bay's hot air. More work to be done on this setup.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arospeed voltage stabilizer complete with grounding cables.
