you will also note, that the brakes have been moved lower on the hubs, to keep the COG as low as possible. just like on the F430 Scuderia.

Here is a link with a little bit of footage taken today. I had just started the car which had not been started for a two days then ran around with the camera. I dont know what has been done to the engine but if you little closely you may be able to hear the pistons knocking. At least that what I think it is.. Any feedback on the idle and the likes is appreciated.

Thanks Thitch. I think the offset is 40mm front and 38mm rear. I also have the offset RCA's which another10-15mm of track to the car. The new fuel reg and filter helped alot!

Valve clearances?
Your exhaust is drowning out the higher frequencies. but it sounds a bit like a noisy head.
Stick a screwdriver or a spanner onto the valve cover and stick it to your ear. Move it along the valve cover and you'll soon find the point source. I isolated my 2 out of spec clearances like this before I even took the head off :p

hah! i thought it odd that you had left at least 100grams of useless weight on each rotor. i would think that you would want to make sure each bolt was the same length and weight to keep everything balanced.

Great work! Really looking forward to seeing this thing @ SuperLap. I sincerely wish you all the best.
I often daydream of joining you track car boys, but unfortunately my bank has other ideas :(
