Hello Vergard, thanks for the kind words. The Hardtop was bought from a friend of mine who entered a Group Buy made a Couple of Years Ago. The Hardtop was bought from the Japan If I remember correct. Itīs super light I can tell you that. One person picks it up pretty easily.

Really? I Went over there 2 years ago. Already missing it badly. My plan is in 2014 go over there in my Mx-5. Well, it seams that I have someone to contact and arrange things now. :)
The 888 Seems to me a very good choise for the Ring. The A048 takes a time to heat up and may be dangerous in the first part of the track. Going down Hatzenbach in cold tyres is not my ideia of fun :)
Very Clean Roadster!!
Thanks for the comments guys.
Meanwhile I managed to score a few parts for the BP4W build.

And this Manifold

The Typhoon will be wrapped in heat reflective tape like Emilio says to. The Manifold I have no clue what is it. I find odd to have 3 holes for O2 sensor? Maybe was on a supercharged car one was the stock, the 2nd for the Wideband and the 3rd maybe for EGT?!
I really donīt know.
Que xaruto mais feio. e não há suporte para ninguem.
Vegard: That HT was mine and as you outbig me on a runabout fuel lid some years ago i wont tell were i got....
OK. I will, This HT are from a 5 one off carbon HT custom made that weight around 11kg complete with latches and rear plexiglass. There was a GB around 5 years and I enter it and got one for me.
As iīm getting my car back to near stock, Filipe got my HT
That's a really clean car, I'm jealous of your garage!
Very clean car! Nothing is better than a nice clean simple NA!!!! Love it!

Well, the new sway mounts are installed but I canīt say how much it was a pain to install them. I discovered that you have to "arrange" a new way for the steering cooler lines, and also remove the old sways mounts, but they are spot welded, so this is a non reversal mod. Just to warn you guys.
Anyway, after the works the car was full off dirt, so i decided to take care off it.
