Mine is the 1.8 version n/a version. I am 6'1" 215 so I had to do some modification to the floor to get the lower. My car is well sorted and you are exactly right about keeping your inputs smooth and handling the car aggressively at the same time. Too many do not follow the basic rule of slow in fast out when comes to cornering. I have been focusing on my braking as the last track weekend was at small technical track as is the next track I will visit in two weeks. I am really trying pay attention to gradual applying the brake up until full braking and then releasing the brake in the same way during trail braking so as to not allow the front of the car to lift and induce under steer.
