    Could you build an S, with spoiler, race splitter, and R shocks?

    Absolutely.

    If you are doing wheel-to-wheel with it, I think that's the best choice. The lack of functional doors (on the 818), however, would render it a fair weather car only. Depending on the intended street use (I'm assuming no one would want to do a track day in the rain), this could pose an issue.
    Have you seen the 818 Registry on Google Maps?? https://www.google.com/maps/ms?msid=...a=0&dg=feature

    Want your 818 added to the Registry? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zmF...rNCY4/viewform

    What? They don't race in the rain where you come from? =)

    Track days run rain or shine. The only time we'll close a track due to inclement weather is if there is lightning in the area and it is deemed unsafe (for the corner workers) or if there's snow on the track - and some northern states will still run it...on purpose (as a planned snow-event).

    Once, I was at Road America and they black flagged the field due to a deluge, but that was an insane amount of rain that just dropped down on us - it was like driving through a flood. Otherwise, driving in the rain requires you to build on and refine your smoothness.

    Best,

    I'm sure THEY do! I certainly would not if I didn't have a top...
