Fresh photo during Winterfest last weekend. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat. We'll be tracking again during the 48 Hours at Sebring next week.

Here's my build...
Cloned ECU - stock in 0 mode, 450 Hp in sport and sport+ mode (MTO engineering, Cargraphics downpipe , BCR filter). JRZ RS Pro3, Tarett Engineering sway bars and links + +, AP Racing brakes, Endless fluid and front pads, Pagid rear, third cooler, Schrott 6 point, Competition Motorsport Club Sport bar, OZ 19" 295 rear 245 front - H&R spacer front rear, titanium pin bolts, etc. Drives better than normal on the street and is unbelievable on track. I can chose a line few other can and I can brake last of the bunch - for the most

That is a GREAT build! How do you like the JRZ suspension?

Thanks! Yes, it has turned out fantastic and it drives like a stock car to and from the track. The shocks have surprised many. The car was tested by the same Porsche Club instructors before and after the build. They all described the car as a lot of fun in stock condition but, when driving it after the build it was literary loud laughs and screams of joy. It is unbelievable what line I can choose - and stick too - and I am chasing GT3's all day. I don't have the power to outperform, but I can push them in any twisty section and although they outperform me on the stretches I catch up again before next technical section since I can brake so much later. In the hands of a professional driver I would think that it wouldn't be many that could stay ahead.

Two fresh photos from the 48 Hours at Sebring this past weekend. It was great talking with so many people over the course of 4 days at the track. Pleasure meeting Poul and chatting about his awesome Lava Orange 718 build (see above).
We did great in the Advance Solo (silver) group. 80 cars on track which is A LOT so traffic got bunched up quite often. We ticked off a 2.26 lap on Friday morning and consistent .27's and .28's the rest of the weekend. There are some fast GT3/RS's out there!
Thanks again and we'll see at the end of month with the Suncoast region PCA at Sebring

Unfortunately not. We were running Harry's LapTimer Petrolhead on a windshield mount but there's so much vibration on the windshield and combined with the new iPhones internal stabilization it was too shaky. The camera kept going in and out of focus. Even sitting at idle it couldn't focus with all the shaking from the engine. We are going to be getting a new GoPro to run better video.
Here's a clip from the quick rain shower on Friday afternoon

Any more planned updates to this car? Specifically interested in the COBB tune. Looking into doing a cat delete + tune in the spring when the car comes out of storage, but it's so hard to find real reviews of the tune. Also, any reliability issues since installing it? I saw you mentioned the overheating but the centre radiator fixed that.

We have a carbon wing blade on the way and we're looking into having a full exhaust built for us from the turbo back. Unfortunately the AWE Track system isn't up to the task with such constant abuse on an actual track.

We're heading out to Sebring within the hour and temps will be in the upper 80's so we'll see how she does this weekend. We are running in White Solo and Advance Solo Black groups and have two back-to-back sessions on the schedule. We will be running GoPro video, laptimer apps, and logging with the Cobb Accessport so we'll report back on Monday. This is our last track event for two months so we're going to use the time to do some modifications.

Great to hear! Thanks for the quick reply. Curious what the issue is with the AWE exhaust? I currently have the same AWE track exhaust on my car for the past 18 months and was hoping to go AWE track exhaust + cat delete + COBB tune + centre radiator. You guys are definitely doing more heavy duty track days than me though. Thanks for all the great info you've shared so far!
