I like it....very impressed....but why did you not install the triple carbon clutch at the sametime instead of having to pull the trans again?

A lot. And in Europe its much more expensive than in America. Import taxes, Taxes for added value,...
I has cost me +100000€ when its finished. So that is +150000$. More than enough.

I run a business on my own. I work in construction and it is very good paid. Always has been a dream for me to create a high performance car. It is finally coming to an end.

I went for a little drive last sunday and the car pulls like hell. And its just wastegate pressure. I really need to upgrade everything fast before I pull myself off the road . Just a few little issues that need to be solved; the braille battery isnt good anymore apparently. Everything works but the car doesnt start on its own. Always need to charge. I think its broken. And a little computer error, sometimes the car goes in limp mode. And the cars idle is bad. it fluctuates between 1000rpm and 2500rpm. Need to solve that fast, its annoying when you stop at traffic lights and all the other people are looking at you .
