Yeah but it typically gets disclosed and penalized.. Ferrari cut a deal with FIA, it got swept under the rug and they lost pace...

I'm with Lando too. Been fun to watch McClaren come to life this year. Wonder what Sainz is thinking with the way Ferrari's year is going.

Uncertain times for Mclaren might have something to do with it.. they are on the verge of bankruptcy, they were already borrowing a lot of $ before the COVID bs hit. They were even trying to sell off their historic car collection to raise $$. They release way too many models of cars and spend too much on
r/d.

mclaren has become a high volume supercar manufacturer. high volume and supercar generally dont go together.

Would love a 570s but the price on parts puts Lamborghini to shame... crazy expensive.

Looks awesome! I need to send in my M tri-stitch webbing rolls and OEM belts to be redone with them. I suppose I'll save this for next winter lol.

I've used safetyrestore for one of my other cars and it was very quick turn around. I believe they do M belts also.

Yup that's who I'm sending them to. Just don't want to be down a week or so for my car while I send my stock ones to the US & back.

Got a new whip

2013, Manual, 11k miles.

Many mods on the way - starting with wheels and suspension / ride height adjustment.

Have always been a Melbourne Red colour fan, but this metallic (Mineral White) really captured my imagination. Loving it.

Wow, that's some low miles. Congrats!

What wheels and suspension are you thinking?

I am thinking of the Avant Garde M359 and Ohlin's R&T.

I finished installing the KW HAS kit. I still have to take it out for a test drive but thoughts so far:
In order adjust the rear height I have to take a couple bolts out to relieve ALL pressure from the spring (the threaded part just spins with the collar). Dumb design. They should have made it able to be held by another wrench

For the front, the adjustable KW collar/sway bar holder is a real pain to get on. You have to pound the dickens out of it to get it down to the 2.99" mark. I used a 36mm socket to sit the strut into so I didn't damage the nub at the bottom and used the oem sway bar holder and hammer to knock it down.

Onto the test drive..

KW is the only company that cheaps out on the rear. All
Other comapnies provide a rubber pad that sits between the body and the threaded collar to keep it from spinning when adjusting ride height. The rubber pad also keeps the metal on metal contact that ruins the paint on the car.
