That yellow picture is just a photoshop, Twingo RS wheels, Meg 250 front and rear, and a Toyota Yaris body shape (look at it on google images and see hot the contours of the side screens is very close). Hope it doesn't look like that.
I bet thay are better oils than ELF around, but keep in mind that this engine was developed to use that oil, so you shouldn't have any problem with it.
I wouldn't do the whole steering wheel in Alcantara if you want to keep it looking nice more than 1 week without wearing gloves.
It will end up looking like this:
I would do the thumbs part in leather, and the upper and lower part in alcantara. It will be functional and look good.
You'll miss some power that the GP had because of the torque that the compressor made, but it has other advantages, like more space, practicality, and better handling in my opinion.
The racetracks here in Spain are pretty small (at least, the ones than I can afford to go on a trackday, and in those situations in when an LSD comes handy. I even have some turns that would require 1st gear, and I can do them as the car goes crazy.
I really would like to try one to see how...
It's in my plans, but until I run out of warranty I'm not touching the car. That is pretty soon, in november this year, and that would be one of my first mods along with the suspension and a remap.

Standard wheels are 17x7.5 ET68, with the new wheels you it would look like you put a 17mm spacer in the standard wheels, so no rubbing issues.
A 7j wheel is fine for the standard 215/45/17...
Actually I have H&R coilovers, the same setup as you, I believe. Maybe I will be more conservative with the drop until I solve the rubbing issues, but, as I want ro repaint tge car I would roll the arches a little bit so it doesn't rub.
Damn renault with their ET68 wheels lol
I am going to put 18" wheels on my car, that's why I'm going to choose 40 profile, and from what I can see it looks like I may have problems with tyres rubbing in the wheelarches. I guess I can deal with it...
Very nice car Simo ;)
But I have a question, I read all the thread but I didn't figure out what rubber are you running on the supperlegeras. I plan to change my wheels soon and I don't know if the tyres I chose are going to be too wide (225/40/18)
Also, do you have some close ups of the...
I personally use it all the time, is very useful when you don't have time to do it manually.
When the display shows "oil level correct" you just tick one of the buttons and it shows the balls. Be careful when is low, as when you have 1 ball left only, if you look it on the dipstick, is below...
