295s front and rear? I wonder if that would fit on a GS-F. I know it will fit in the back, but not so sure up front. Great job on the car.

Thanks Steve 👍
I don't know if it will fit either... but it would surprise me if it didn't. My car is quite low as you can see, and it still fits pretty well (just some minor rubbing in the beginning). All you can do is try 😉

Congrats on the show.

Saw the pics from a few post up.
Never knew the hood was forged carbon. Is it like that on the top side too or is it weaved?

Thanks Ming 🏆👍

About the hood, it's just the underside that's forged carbon, the top side is the usual weave pattern. But it looks so cool when you open it 😀 I wish the top side was forged as well... it would be awesome 😊

Does your new Alpheyga front splitter work well? It sure looks super cool 👍👍👍

Linus,
yeah that Alphega splitter made a fair amount more down force.
only been to 2 track days with it but on my home track, Road Atlanta aka Michelin Raceway, my turn 12 and turn 1 speeds increased by 5 mph.
Legit.

Dm me though if you’re thinking about buying one.

How did you address the center bore of the wheels? The APex wheels you run are for a Mustang, which are are 70.5mm center bore where as the RCF has a center bore of 60.1. Do they make hub-centric rings?

Thanks,

Steve

You have absolutely right Steve about the 70,5mm center bore for the Apex wheels. I have special ordered a set of hub-centric rings, but never used them. It works well without them as well 👍

Here is a pic from last weeks Track-monday at Mantorp Park... The last track day for the season.

She looks great. I don't know if you saw it or not, but Apex came out with a couple new offsets for their 19 inch wheels. I think you have the +52 version for Mustangs. They just came out with a +42 version for Corvettes that would allow you to forego the spacers. They also now have a 19x11.5 +56 which may work out back with your spacer. It would allow you to run a 305 and actually use the entire 305 tread since the tire won't have any squirm.
