      My oil pan was ridiculously low - just a matter of time when I would
      smash it on a kerb. Already had some serious battle scars.

      Also this guards against oil starvation during heavy track use.

        Some nice CF parts have arrived


















        All this CF up front + the dry sump system is going to help to
        correct the weight distribution in the car :D

                    Just got an update from Tauber Motorsport.

                    Test fitting of the splitter prior to painting of the bumper:


                    Fenders and hood mounted:




                    R2D2 has been hooked up:


                    Hoses don´t go underneath the gar - go right through:




                    Spacers installed to make the M3 GT wheels fit:














                    Had to make a custom crank pulley (left):






                    "Carbon" airbox installed and now the motor hopefully gets
                    some cool air to work with:
