looking at options for both rear diffuser and rear wing... see a few pages back for potential rear wing from kognition
... btw, it turns out that lexus stole our idea for scoops and put them on the LFA ! |

Yeah Im making everything i can think of. I will sell all this stuff to you guys once it's done. If you know me, I'm not one for waiting too long for these things. I am getting back home from a business trip this friday, monday I have a meeting with the CF guys and if all goes well I will leave some stuff already to test the quality out. Might be able to have something posted by late next week. I saw some pics of their bits that they make for motorcycles (ducati ++) and it looks like its great quality. These are going to be replacements, not overlays.
Please post on my profile wall if anyone needs info, I will not answer more questions on Travis' journal. |

Since you asked for opinions on the flat black, don't do it lol. Flat black looks pretty good when its all clean, but in a track environment with dust and dirty fingerprints it looks terrible real quick. I also suggest going for a glossy finish on the interior because you will have no windows and I can tell you from experience on a track car with no windows the interior gets gross very quickly. Also another reason not to go flat black on the outside, since you have no windows, chances are you won't wash it nearly as much or as well as you normally would so it would always look like crap. Also I suggest for the engine bay, if you are painting that, to stick with the silver or go white or some other light color to make it easier to spot any leaks.

Thanks Mike for the input. Will leave engine bay as is... Will put some thought into satin finish inside and out.
On the topic of steering columns and hubs... several options to consider 1. weld the "Joe's" quick release hub directly to the stock steering column 2. return the Joe's hub and buy an NRG setup like Mike's 3. return the Joe's hub and buy a Porsche Cup Car setup... they are universal so would fit this car, but pricey... benefit it one less part to worry about breaking/not working right 1 2 3 Last edited by travisjb; 10-26-2009 at 10:16 PM. |
