Pushing the envelope -- a mod buying frenzy geared towards safety and performance

I decided to step up a bit more on this car. Today I bought the following -

1) Tubi race exahust -- Yep --just had to . Every reason imaginable led me to compliment the 700 kit with this exhaust.

2) Brembo upgraded brakes - The car has to be able to stop somehow and the stock brakes work but I want a better ability .

3) Pss10 - out with the Techart Springs and in with the coilovers . I still have been on the fence where to dial in the ride height but since I have the Techart kit I want to start at the same height as my current setup .

4) Gt2 sway bar -- keeps the tail in check.

5) Gt2 - Clutch engagement conversion kit .


I am thrilled . I get it all next week.

Thanks Alex . I even added one more thing too --Rennline pedals and silver painted console .

It's too bad we live far away. I've always liked the work you have posted and have learned so much reading your posts.

I don't know yet . I'll hang onto them to be sure I like the race version . Kinda like an exhaust security blanket.

I hear ya. Even stock the Turbo clutch engagement was tough but with the performance clutch it's even more challenging.

I can't wait to see this when its done .

I agree... makes it so much easier to engage the clutch IMHO.

I will . I walkaway from this today thinking this was the final expense but I sat in the Gt2 seats and it was hard to walk away from them . I just had to keep some sense of budget. I figure that when the leather wears on my sports adaptive seats (they are still like new) then that would be the final mod .
I think

I believe the software will require a reflash.
