The mz2 has good brakes but in track driving they fade a lot after 5-8 of hard driving.Before I install better pads I made some custom brake ducts.
They are not finshed yet but I hope they will do the job.Some pictures:

I Installed a full bucket seat for the driver.The seat is a Sparco Evo 2.
I used sabelt side mounts and custom base mount using some parts from the oem seat.
The oem seat weihgts 18,5kgr,the Sparco 7,7kgr and the Sparco with mounts 11,5kgr.
The feeling is excellent, everyone who attends trackdays should do this!!

Nice seat. I like the Evo 2. But theyre soooo expensive . I look for some used seats from a MX-5 NC.

de5fs strut bar and torque damper

Some new parts were installed to make the car more trackday-ready!!

I bought a torque damper for a civic eg and made custom mounts to fit it.

Also a custom alloy front strut bar was intsalled.The strut bar mount is also used for the torque damper.

 

[M2Tim]

Nice updates. I need the detailed drawing of the custom mounts for the engine damper. ^^

Have you realised a diffrence between with an without the Strutbar? I want to by a few bars from ultraracing.com but it depends on whether it make a difference.

I havn't tested it at winding roads or track yet.Maybe tonight.. (popcorn)

I've just driven the car from the workshop back hope and it definately feels more comfortable and rigid over bumps.After I test it properly I'll write about it.

Oz Superleggera 15x7 et36 Black!!

Now each wheel is 4kgr(!!) lighter and acceleration is much better!!
Now i need to find a set of Oz carbon center caps.

15x7 is the perfect size for the 2. And Greece has a beautiful landscape.

Love those rims vdsracing. What setup are you running? I assume you've lowered it a litte. I've got a white m2 and this setup looks really nice

 

[vdsracing]

Thanx neon!

These are 15x7, et36 Oz Superleggeras with 195/50 tyres.
The car is lowered a little bit,about 2cm(coilover suspension).
