Default Changster's 997.2 TTS, pics mods etc

Figure I'd start my own thread. The project is ongoing but it won't be any sort of a big build like my GTR. I just want to max out stock VTG's on either race gas or ethanol for the occasional street race, but mostly keep it on 98Ron. I don't DD this car. I just use it for aggressive mountain carving and tracking on the road course, with the occasional street race.

Simple mods so far:
AMS IC's
Exhaust
Cobb + Robtune on 98Ron (we are just starting the datalogging+revisions now but already trapped 132mph on vbox for 1/4)

Ordered, not installed:
TPC Racing sways
TPC Racing DSC
TPC Racing front wide track kit

Contemplating:
OZ Superforgiata's so I can run 245/325 Cup 2's
TPC Racing / Tractive DDA active coilovers

For now some pictures.































UPDATE 4/12/16: TPC goodies have arrived.

...great look indeed!
I did almost the same with mine.

I was just undecided about the "turbo" mention on the doors and I gave up - at least for the moment.

Any reco?

OZ Superforgiata's came in. I chose the 19x8.5 in the front because I have the TPC wide track kit. 19x12 rear. I bought R888's in 245/325 for these to try out at the track.







On a side note, the TPC sways + DSC + TPC front wide track kit + good alignment transformed the car. I can't comment on track performance yet but on the street it's everything other reviewers have said - car is much tighter, much less body roll, more responsive, and I can tell I can put much more power down earlier through turns. It's the best money I've spent on the car bar none.

Very cool pics!

Any info on the alignment?
How many miles of street driving you get out of the pilot sport cup 2?
