Looks awesome, Get some more pics up, teasing us like that...

Out of interest, are you simply just paying for everything to be done by Tractive, or are you doing any of the work yourself?

Can I ask where you got that rear diffuser from?

I've seen another car with the spare wheel well chopped out and has a diffuser like that... I love that look

its custom made mate took a fair bit of work to fit cut spare wheel well out fit flat boot floor also needs brackets to support it to the shell and needs the rear bumper cutting to fit also you wont be able to have the exhaust out the back because the diffuser will be in the way off the path of the exhaust thats why ive gone side exit hope this helps cheers

fair comment mate im not that keen on big wings myself but if you have felt the weight of the standard one it must weigh 5x the amount and will not generate the same downforce so seemed pointless going that far and not changing it

I've seen this car in the flesh a few months back when i was over there having a geo set up done, i had a really good nose around it and all i can say is it looks very very sweet and the standard of workmanship is first class.

Not sure how your going to get it out of the roof space, maybe a shot of NoS

Best of luck with it, and i'm sure rich will do a fantastic job and get you one hell of a car.

I don't envy those bills though

Fair play on the custom diffuser btw, they're such things of beauty in my eyes and worth all the chopping and exhaust re-location

Looking like its going to be a cracking build Matt. You're in excellent hands with Richard Bulmer he sure as hell knows his stuff.

Is the Carbon wide Arch kit from Aerosim in the states?

What turbo are you thinking of?

What are you doing firewall wise for rear bulkhead?


Sorry for all the questions we all love this kind of stuff in here

Keep the pictures coming and good luck with the rest of it

How did you go about designing the rear diffuser?

Any calcs, simulation or just botched together?
