First modifications and upgrades

In april 2010, after buying the car, there was no intention to bring it into racing... but over time, the desire to improve the performance of car grew slowly!

In 2011, after some small painting jobs to make it more agressive, I decided to meet Daniel Wyrsch of Wyrsch Motorsport in order to install a nice cat back exhaust from Invidia (Q300).

During the same year, we mounted anti-roll bars from Perrin and strut bars from CUSCO in the front and the rear. The chassis was upgraded with new coil over suspensions from TEIN and stronger rubber silent blocs from Perrin and Whiteline were mounted on the subframes. Some other stronger rubbers were installed to improve the precision of the direction and the shifter. Some specific bolts were installed in the front and in the rear to adjust the camber. Other aluminium silent blocks were mounted on the rear differential and the control arms. In order to get a quicker steering we installed a specific part from Perrin to move the linkage pivot (connection rods) closer to the center of the hub. And finally, in order to get a better braking response, a constant pressure and a consistent performance over time, we installed a master cylinder and new braking lines. Everything was mounted by Daniel Wüthrich (Garage WF Grandfontaine, Jura, CH). What a great job!

In 2012, not a lot of things were upgraded on the car. We installed very nice seats from Sparco. Last but not least, some gorgeous wheels from Rays Engineering, Volk Racing C28N Genesis Edition in 18x9'' ET35, have been bought!
