Re: EK9 race car out of hibernation
Haha!
As mentioned, off the road for winter, surprisingly on R888 it's no good in the snow
Engine wise i'm still planning on keeping it standard for reliability, with the map and short gears it should be plenty fast. The N1 coilovers i just had overhauled are phenomenal, can't wait to get it on track again

Re: EK9 race car out of hibernation
This was taken before i fitted the inner eyebolts properly through the exhaust tunnel with spreader plates
Cheers guys
Spring rates are huge yeah, but the dampers are such good quality that it is bearable to drive it on the street
First track outing is on March 19th at Knockhill, will be back to the Nurburgring first week of July too
