Sorry I haven't written anything on the last track day I'm running the same setup this weekend. So I should be more in depth with how it goes since the car is fixed now.

They are costly, about 250€\each but they should be well worth it. The bad thing is that we don't really get much tire choice here so you can either go for ultra-expensive r888s\a048\Corsa or just get crappy rubbers.
@rx8speciale: sorry for the very late reply about fluids. There's a vendor in italy that does ship to germany. try and check www.raceporter.com . i'm just 2 months late

The diffuser is going great I'm waiting on a order of carbon fiber to come in but the sheet metal version fits and holds up on the autobahn with no rattling. I'm not ready to show to pics just yet but it did make it all the way to Luxembourg so far with no problems. I should be able to get it tested at the first of January so if that goes well I'll make the first one out of CF.
