Good stuff mate! Welcome to the club, they're addictiive thats for sure. Sounds like you got big plans which i guess we've all had, but i hope you stick to it because it worth it in the end! Be sure to check out the technical section because there is a write-up on just about every part of these cars and plenty of inspiration.
