What is your best mod?

If you had to pick one mod you have done to your car as the best mod what would it be?

Mine would be the Stage 5 engine upgrade.

Although for the money the Fabspeed exhaust comes pretty close to being the best mod for the money for me.

i've done just about every one of those mods except for diverter valves but i'd have to say the short shifter would be the one i couldn't live without

i initially had the B&M and swapped out for the Porsche SS(just in case). Funny now that i think about it, it was the least expensive of all the mods

Europipe Stage 2 Loud is always paying dividends - even is slow traffic it can be enjoyed.

Stage 4GT upgrade is always enjoyable for whenever there is a break in the traffic, or a track day occurs.

Suspension upgrade is most appreciated when things get scary.

I thought your weird pictures go first?

Mine will be the exhaust, something you can hear.

It is one of the first one's they did before they had loud or quiet. It would definately
qualify as a loud version!

silly as it sounds, i think GT3 seats first. they really give the car a go kart feel, put you lower, pad your a## less (letting more info come through your back side), lighten the car, hold you in place (for a change) laterally, etc. don't you have those in your GT2? i know you do in the GT3.

I do have those in the GT2. They are good seats, but not as good as some others like the Cobra Suzuka Technology, for example.

Learning from Stanton is still a better mod.

You saw the GT2 at the hotel when I met up with you in February.
