Warning: Do not sell your car to Fred Chin (thusly)
I just received the following e-mail and this is what Fred did to my beautiful white GT3 that I sold him:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
L,
Transformation nearing completion. Here is what has been done so far:
- Motons - Clubsport
- Floating Hat APs front and rear
- Shorten gears 2nd through 6th
- Lightened flywheel
- Plexiglass rear and side windows
- Europipe exhaust
- Full RS suspension
- Monoball suspension
- GT-3 RS front bumper (modified stock bumper)
- Center console delete
- AIM dash with telemetry (coming in a week)
- GT-3 RS Nomex seats (backordered from Gert)
- Painted and polished GT-3 wheels
- GT-3 decals
- Carbon fiber hood
- RS air collector
- RS steering wheel and emergency brake
- Clubsport fire exstinguisher
Probably a few more items to revise. I was going to do RS door panels, but given the cost and minimal weght savings, I decided to pass. Might consider doing carbon fiber doors. At this point, probably dumped another <edited> $$$$ into the car.
Went to the track this weekend - car feels very light, immediate steering feedback, none of the heaviness of normal GT-3s. Still working on set-up for optimal handling.
Should be done in the next few weeks. In the meantime, it is the cup car Jr.!!!
Best,
Fred

Look what he did to my beautiful car!
Don't sell him your car or the same thing may happen to it.

Thats what happens when you sell your car to a poor guy that just want to rice it up...... Pfffff! Red wheels!!.....
Jokes aside, the car is absolutely amazing. Don't you wish you could go back in time!! Anyways your RSA is crazy fast and from your video, I am sure you're having a blast with it.
Look it on the bright side, it went to a good home and he's making it better with alot of taste.

No really, in all seriousnes, nice setup but I would have to frown on the RS sticker and rear decklid badge package. Either leave the badging alone or maybe just get a custom cut GT3 sticker vice GT3RS.
Nice list, but do the CF doors with the cage!
