Makes it look european or something???
The orange side markers stand out way too much (except on an orange or red car). The clears markers are a lot cleaner looking.

Thanks NorthVan for the answer. This is what I thought.

No problem, seemed like you were being ignored.

As for the LSD, I think that it is a must have if you do more then a few track days a year. I have not yet driven the car hard (as it is clod and slippery) but it is a lot more control on the over steer.

You know? I look at your sig. and see the list of mods I created a couple of weeks ago, on your car. Too funny.

I know the lsd is an absolute imo. I need to figure out if the damptronics, antiroll and fabspd stuff come first.

I havn't driven the car more than a few hundred miles since getting it. A few week after i got it we got 20" of snow, that's still here ARGHHH.

What ratio quaife did you go with??
Thanks

I know what you mean about the snow. We have had a ton of it in Vancouver, and it usually goes away a few days later. This year it has been around some area's for almost 60 days.

IMO I would do the Damptronics and Sway bars, skip the exhaust (except for the Cats), and then do the LSD and LWFW. If you track it a lot do the GT3 seats and Harnesses, what a huge difference it made for me.
