Are you going to be tracking the car? If so, you may want to remove the stock seats and install aftermarket seats (either fixed back or reclining). They will provide better support in high cornering on the track. Stable Energies in Garfield, NJ has a pretty large selection of seats in their shop if you want to try some out.

So got her registered and insured today. Came home tonight after work and took her out for a first quick spin. It's really crappy outside. Foggy, ice and rain. That being said, what a fun little car this is. The rough idle from the test drive is gone. Starts and runs really well. Fun through the gears. Such a totally different feel from my 928. Too bad it's so crappy out. I would like to get her out on my usual 928 back road run in the dry daylight to compare some more.

Sounds like a nice find! Do your fuel system a favor...by a bottle of Techron and put it in with your next refill. Techron is amazing stuff and should help permanently eliminate any stumbling issue.

I definitely did it in stages, although I should add that my car is definitely still streetable. These cars really don't need much modification in order to keep pace on the track.

I'll send you a PM with more details on where I am and where I'm going with it.
