Re: Pic of the month
Very nice. I'm assuming the vR brakes are probably the same as the GPX too (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
How much difference did you notice with the underbody/in-car bracing??
p.s. you may want to downsize your signature pic!

Re: Pic of the month
Not sure about if the same as GPX brakes, they work very well though.
The underbody bracing made the yaw control of the car a lot more responsive, a huge improvement, not real noticable on the road but on the track it was very very worth wile. The in car floor bracing was fitted at the same time so not to sure how it would of responded on its own. The suspension is very very firm though, dont think I would like to drive it daily as a road car.( I did for a while before turning it into a race car )

Re: Pic of the month
The full moon and clouds looked awesome last night.
So I took a pic, just at the right time so the moon was in a perfectly sized gap in the clouds...
