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.

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 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.
