From a stock 996 tt... to it's final stages of modding.
Since stock I have done the following, i would like your guys input in what to address before i make my final list of modifying the car, their has to be an end to it !. Also, what do you guys suggest in removing weight but still keeps the OEM look. I know i do not have coilovers listed but that is something i'm waiting on to decide what route to go with. Mosly waiting on Dez. I'm putting up the list so i can get suggestions of perhaps somethings i have over seen, that would be a good idea to mod. The car is my DD and Track car.

great list for footwork, giving me some ideas...
think going with CF or FRP composite doors would save a lot of weight. Not sure if there're any are avaialble which provision for all fixings, power windows and stuff. and not sure how much difference this may make in side impact situations. Most doors have a side crash bar inside of them.
Front bonnet to lightweight material, though not sure how heavy orig is. (997 one is alum)
on track days remove spare tire n rear seats
someone recently asked about lexan rear window...
How about a hard tranny mount - gbox is offering one but it's noisy =)

if you're not planning for more power, weight reductions is what you're looking for. Your list look good, which OZ wheels are you planning to get?
For more front down force, we have CF aero lip available and that will add down force and only weight 3lbs! Let me know if you interest.

I met F1crazydriver @ ThunderHill track last Friday.. And all I got to say that his car is wicked fast... He came down the front straight faster than anything out there that day, and not only does it goes straight fast, that puppy can turn.. And it doesn't help that he is an insanely fast and good driver! Very cool to have met him and his ride!! I need to score me a ride in it next time down!
Enjoy in good health!
