Joemart , just watched a video of race from a slower car . Your car handles well ( no credit to the driver how it cuts through the field) . If you compare pics there are two shots taken of your car and my car from from exact position . It shows clearly how my front is stiffer than yours ( that does not sound good :oops: ) .
My rear is 65kg , yours 50 kg
My front is 200kg , yours 120 kg plus 24mm torsion bars ( probably = 170kg )
Also I have rs front anti roll and yours is Standard .
Time will tell when front box is in on your car how it affect your times .

The sound is GREAT...

side exhaust, 2x50mm pipes, into 2x Suppressors, into a "Y" piece, into a silencer and the out into single 63mm pipe, 90 bend and out the side

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUu1cJLQGKI

Ha ha after listening again I did not notice the police sirens in the back round when talking about a nice quiet day in Africa . It's kinda like white noise here . :D
This is definitely the best exhaust so far with our group of GTV 's .
