I am running a ACT prolite which is 8.6 lbs. You do feel it wind up faster, and only thing you might experience is a rpm drop when you come to stop. it will kind do a little bog, and then go back up to its normal idle.

hey wasup guys, small updates here...
lets start with some random shots






After reading and looking at the k1 laboratory ducktail i decided to make my own CF ducktail,i havent tested it yet but im hoping it will help the airflow under the wing






Ive also start playing with some ideas for the rear diffuser




Chopped off the trunk bowl to make room for the diffuser and also the single center exit 3" strait pipe exhaust ill be making soon





Made a carbon fiber block off plate, i riveted and sealed it with body sealer but didnt get a chance to take any picture yet.



Got the chance to help and spend few days with chris jeanneret/speedfactory team at the formula d round 5 in seattle, it was an mazing experience and ive learn a lot, will have more about this later on, i will start a new thread about this.

Me installing the FF01R rear flares





Received my freshly cnc machined front plugs for my front flares




Received my Tein dampers i ordered from japan,they are Tein Circuit Master RS and they came with 14k and 16k springs but i will be ordering 2 x 16k and 2 x 18k swift spring for them so that way i have few option to play with in order to dial in the car






Received my set of Car Shop GLOW LED tail lights





trying to send the car to the body shop next week, i cant wait to see this thing painted....

aesthetically i think the duckbill needs to be thicker, a bit more dimension and shape to it. your version of a tamon duckbill would suit the shape of your flares very well. keep up the awesome work, and now sell me your mirrors

From the back the duckbill resembles the Veilside. i personally like it, but it do agree that making it thicker would be good.

Yah this is just a ducktail, it suppose to increase downforce while reducing the drag under the gt wing

I will be releasing a real full size duckbill sometime soon, the duckbill will be a cosmetic item , thicker and more round and made in frp.
