That sir is a very expensive wish list.....So not too much????? Bloody ell mate, to my reckoning that's close on £30.000 worth of toys.

The guy I bought my roof of was told by Mugen uk that it was the first Carbon one they had sold in the uk.Mine isn't for sale and I don't know how many Carbon ones there are out there but for a new one they carry a very hefty price tag which to be honest I can't see how they can justify it.

The Gearbox, I would give some serious thought to.You need to go for a ride in mine to realise what a disgusting, horrible, crude, noisy thing it is.On a race track I suspect you would struggle to better it, especially with the paddle shift.On the road it's not nice, I would go so far as to say that it spoils what could be a really nice car.

Apart from that, your wish list is pretty much what I would have wished for.

If the lights are good quality the they may look good. I'd need to see them in person, which is probably what you're thinking.

So not too much...
What's the "quaife 750+ hip rated diff"!? Or do you mean just a quaife atb LSD for the standard housing?

Couple more pics of the car before we head back to the dyno for some further updates.
