I am in disbelief that they did everything wrong when building that renault, they truly have no idea of how to tune a car, yes they upgraded the brakes and suspension, at a huge cost which was their first mistake, a lesser approach would have saved them enough, they didn't even change the exhaust, a set of cams would have been great and I don't think they tried, a simple supercharger set up would have put them close to what they wanted to accomplish...
they had 9,500 bp to build it = 19,000+ USD you can do a lot of modifications with 19 grand if you are doing the installation yourself heck with 19 grand I'd have changed the engine for a nissan Silvia s13 engine, kyb suspension, brembo brakes, filled the car up up with race gas and then I am sure taking everything out of the car, including spare tire, seats it would have run pretty close to the 1:28
I did see they replaced the glass roof with plastic, good, I probably would have gutted the doors also, I bet there was 50lbs at least per door
