As far as wheel goes, I have 2 sets of OEM wheels. One set with PS2 for DD and the other with PS cup for track. I do have my eyes on a set of Champion RS 171 in black in the future. They are super sweet but too expensive. I can't believe how much people charge for these wheels. I got an exact set of wheel like the RS 171 for my M3 and it only cost $2500. Same material, same design and manufacture so why charge more than twice if it happen to mount on a Porsche? I can go on and on about this ......
At some point I will need to swap out my PCCB with steel brakes. It just does not make economic sense to run them on track. They are > $3500 each to replace .... ouch!! GMG has a solution for PCCB by using two piece Stoptech rotors and PFC pads. It only cost $350 to replace the one rotor. That is more than 10 times cheaper than PCCB. It's suppose to be great for track. We will see how that works out

Yes, Steve and the crew at suncoast are top notch as far as customer service and price
No, the harness is not backward .... the yellow labels are suppose to face upward. These are the OEM harness and made by Schroth
Fern, I am not hiding my RS from ya .... I am just SOOOOOO busy hacking through all my mods. I must have offended the modding gods by not paying proper tribute or sacrifice. Seems like every single mods I did on my RS always run into some god awful problem. I thought modding my M3 was madding, my RS has top the chart as far as frustration goes. Case in point, while trying to do some diagnostic on my RS, my lap top took a dump. I had to move my other not so light "lap top" from my office to the garage as shown below. My wife thought it was hil-a-rious watching me swearing up and down as I move the computer to the garage lol
Kevin, got the GT2 seats couple weeks ago. Totally worth it. Will give it another go at Thunderhill next Friday if it does not rain. I will post a detail write up after next week. Some work is require to properly mount the GT2 seat if you want to use 6 points harness etc.

I hope it won't rain this Friday so we can go to TH .... but it sure does not look good as far as forecast goes
It's not much fun driving in rain ... even Walter Rohrl would agree

Trust me Kevin, it's not a competition when it comes to modding the RS ... it's hella expensive lol
