I love the seat color. I guess this is a sign you'll be keeping it for a while? ;-)

I'm assuming thats the 09+ seat with the air-scarf? was there any problem switching the seats over from the older R230s? I was seriously considering swapping the seats but I had no idea if it would still function.

I see what you mean it looks like he has modified it to be larger. I was thinking about turning mine into more of a bucket seat by increasing the size of the bottom and side bolsters, then doing some new leather.

Thank you all. We made custom headrest to look like the 2009 without the air scarf. If you guys are interested you can send us your old headrest and we can do the same.

Wow it looks like a really nice conversion from the 03-08 to the 09+, where are you located? I may have to send mine out.

We are in orange county CA. Will post picture of the complete project in a few weeks hopefully. Waiting for speedriven upgrades then we will pull the engine out to install upgrades.

We should be getting similar performance numbers. It will be good to compare.
My kit is from Poland, Suhorovsky is the maker. I had seen a lot of the Prior and the Misha kits so I wanted something different. It also gives it more of a SLS or R231 up to date look.
Eurocharged will be doing my tune.
Are you doing a custom intake? Or heat exchanger?
The v12 suffers badly from heat soak and timing is pulled very quickly if not dealt with.
It will be ok for the 1/4 mile but ant more and you will need more cooling.
What are you doing to the turbos?

I assume you at using the same housing or are you modifying the turbos and manifold?
I have not seem the 2k1 used on our cars that should be interesting, the Honda guys seem to get a lot of power from them, but they don't have to deal with our restrictive manifolds.
