BSH oil catch can
Lightweight Titanauspuffalgen Stainless steel muffler
Brakes
Goodridge Brake hose with motul RBF 660
Pagid RS19
Suspensions
Modified Camber Plates
Ohlins Road & Track
VRSF Spacers 1 cm
Exterior
Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler
Carbon Fiber Splitter (Similar to The Alpha N 1M)
Next Mod: Repaint the wheels, semi slick tyres and put a recaro pole position
Nice list of mods. If I may ask, why did you stick with (if you indeed did) the stock charge pipe and stock midpipe of the exhaust with its drone generating fake resonator? Those are arguably the worst designed parts of the car out of factory in my opinión and should be replaced in any car even if no other mods are planned.

As long as it does not break i will continue to use the oem chargepipe. For the N54 mids i have decided not to change to a full catless exhaust because it makes an horrible sound from 0 to 2500 rpm (it seems like an old civic with a broken exhaust)

I did another Easter trip to the Green Hell, here are 3 cool pics.
Did 6 laps on the NS and 1 session on the GP Circuit.
My best BTG is now 8'28 with 37 laps overall.

So, another Easter trip to the Green Hell, +10 laps. Sunny & dry.
I did a (1st) full lap ALONE on the track, awesome sensation !!!
Shame that the tires were not completely hot.....
Did not improve my 8'28 from last time, but tried to improve my good lines.
Like each time at the Nürburgring, we really had a blast, this place is just magic, and the surrounding Eifel places & landscapes are wonderful.

Here are some nice pictures I found, see ya next time Nordschleife :

Thanks !
It's a Lightweight front lip.
It's from Germany, that's the Moto GP 1M front lip.
Tested & approved on the Karussell ;-)

Almost indestructible, I hit a large sandstone rock recently that a car on the opposite side of the road through in front of me, the lightweight splitter took the full impact and saved me having to fork out for a new bumper, my mate shaved out the damaged impact area of the splitter and it is good to go once again....
