ah looks good. Is the carbon fibre dash lighter then the factory one? I haven't been on the inside of a 35 so i have no idea what all the dash is made of. Does look pretty damn cool though.

yes there are weight savings in the carbon dash but the weight savings in terms of bang for your buck are no where near as great as replacing the bonnet/doors etc. we have already picked all the 'low lying fruit' in terms of weight savings

What you gonna do about glare off the carbon dash?

Looks porn tho :D

The glare will be insignificant. Due to the speeds at which this car will be travelling, light will actually be bending around the car, therefore eliminating any threat of glare off the carbon dash. :whistling:

I've got one of those old school terry toweling XXXX bar mats I was thinking of laying across the dash to keep it from cracking in th sun

Polarized lense glasses will filter the glare. Would be a shame to cover up such porn with XXXX mats!

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
