What do you think:

-Of the shelf exhaust or custom one? I am 99% decided to give the car to our exhaust maker and make a new one, but maybe there is some good argument why not. Cost should be roughly the same, but I would have to wait for anything of the shelf.
Off the shelf, unless your guy can replicate a system for cheaper money, as the standard ones are more than adequate until you start pushing big numbers .

-Mike is your race-shifter thing only for racecars or would it fit nicely to a road car? I cannot get used to the shonky feel of MT75 again ;(
It will give a nicer feel, but you have to fit a Vibratechnic gearbox mount, which puts more vibration into the car and it won't make the change quicker, as you will just beat the syncros.

-How big a difference will rear beam make - a) huge, it transforms the car b) big, but only when driving at the limit, c) don't bother get some wheels and tyres and drive it instead of keeping it in workshop
Will remove a huge amount of understeer, so yes - but only worry for track / high speed driving.


-Anyone with huge stok of spare interior parts? Every small bit in my interior seems to have something wrong - most annoying one is the part where the switches for electric windows and tailgate are - it keeps falling out - should I have replacement made of carbon or what, it annoys me a lot when I see such things.

-Useless set of mint Escos 16's or gravel 15's anyone?

-If taking it to Stu's for setup in not an option what can I do when running-in is finished. We will check it for AFR and det on rolling-road for sure, we can probably plug into wires and check sensor signals, but I don't think we can connect to the ECU anyhow.
Fit aftermarket ECU.

-My alternator belt is noisy, changed to new one, still noisy, stops when weather is damp - any ideas? Maybe it's just missing english climate? ;(
Misaligned belt / squeaky bearings - needs use and lubrication (not on the belt though ).
