Default Track 951's opinions/thoughts needed

1-Experienced some problems with ISV at the end of season...Delete or replace and relocate?
2-UPGRADE TO aluminum flywheel or resurface what is in the car...(changing clutch)
3-Anyone ever experience a leaky BOV which would cause the car to run rich? Which BOV are you running?
4-running 400/650...thinking of bumping up to 550/800 (the thought of the RE rear lower bolt breaking creeps into my head every track day)
If you have thoughts you would like to keep private, please feel free to PM me.
thanks

1) Delete
2) If you are already in there change it, I recommend KEP
3) Billet BOV
4) They break, take an extra with you and an easy out

Do a good maintenance check of all your belts, torque on the rear CVs, front wheel bearings, ball joints, brake pads and bleed, the usual stuff

Agree with above but I like a factory lightened unit on the flywheel, just my preference, and I run a 6 puck, unsprung Copper Clutch disc.

Forgot to ask about brake proportioning valves...5/33, 5/45, 5/55?
Changing brake pads at a 3:1 ratio(fronts compared to rears)

i recall reading about some 944 spec guys using an early 944 cable-operated heater control valve as a rudimentary idle warm up valve..

3 to 1 is normal wear. I have not changed my pro portioning valve.

Delete the ISV and cap off the intake ports unless you drive it a lot in cold weather.

I bought some grade 12.9 bolts to replace the factory lower shock bolts. Been using the same pair for ~7 years now w/ no issues.
