Lovely read, thank you very much for that.

Quick question, what do your insurance think about all these mods? Both performance and non performance mods. Are they charging you a lot?

Uhm, in Sweden we can't "tune" our cars nor take it to the race track (insurance will be invalid).

But nothing against upgrading chassis, wheels and tyres.

NORDIC TIME ATTACK!

My 2nd track day, back at Gelleråsen Motorstadion, last Saturday. Now with the Anti-Roll bars and H&R lowering springs

Issues:
My mechanic had to raise the car, remove the front wheels and unscrew the plastic upper plates in the wheel arch due to them scraping the tires (car was lowered with springs and I run 8.5” rims with ET40).

We also removed the Soundaktor finally :)

News since last time:

I went and put on my brand new Michelin Cup2 N0 (porsche spec) tires in August.

This caused my wheels to scrape since the tire wall on the Cup 2’s are so straight/steep.

I couldn’t even go at 40km/h or roundabouts.

Hence why I ordered some new light weight race wheels from Germany :)

Cool looking car :coolthumb

I'm only wondering how difficult was to fit this OEM blades?

What do you think about brakes after track day?

Side blades took a few hours, not too hard if you take it slow.

Brakes did fade after 6 really hard laps, this is OEM stock brakes (not performance pack brembos).

I will definataly upgrade the brakes soon (big brake kit 2021) to braided lines, RBF660 fluid and Carbotech xp10 pads.

MEGA HUGE EXCITING UPDATE!

Finally we mounted the custom fiber glass front spoiler on friday. I also fitted the rear side splitters #unique
And finally some anti-blue and switched the EU-tag black :)
