    That looks great!

    A few questions:
    1) Is the splitter permanently attached or is it removeable?
    2) Are you autocrossing in XP? The 818 was classed to E-Mod in the SCCA rulebook I thought
    3) Are you worried about the imbalanced aero (no rear aero) causing oversteer issues? I guess you'll find out soon enough! Let us know how it goes

    Good luck today!

    Thanks,

    1,throughout the entire build I have made nearly everything removable with riv-nuts, all of the body panels including the splitter.
    2, I didn't really know (care) what class I was in. I was told by my local club, XP has a better pax. at this point I'm still getting blown away by a ffr cobra and a daytona coupe on hoosiers at some events.

    3, so far I have found it under-steers quite a bit at speed, but then again, this is the first time out with the body on and alignment done with tape measures. and the brakes don't work good enough for me to want to go much faster until i figure how to get more power to the brakes. I have the bias all the way to the rear and they barely seem to help slow before the fronts lock up.
