Default Found a coupe...swapping some parts...anything I should consider?

Coupe is on its way.

There are a bunch of fun bits on the cab I'm going to swap over:
  • JIC/Cross suspension
  • RS Sways
  • Regeared transmission / LSD
  • Euro turbo nose/rear
  • LWF/RS clutch (and chip to make it not stall).
Considering installing an aux oil cooler (any suggestions?) and some brake cooling ducts.

Trying to get ahold of a goldenrod / FD SSK.

Anything else I should consider "while I'm in there"?

Andial, 3.8, Protosport turbo are all NOT in consideration

A second oil cooler is an excellent idea if you are tracking the car, If you are good at collecting parts and handy about putting them together you can put a stock passenger side one on the drivers side, if not Cargraphic and Ruf and Gert all sell the same large Cup one w/ brackets for use w/ or w/o A/C condenser, if in doubt about AC get the AC one which also works fine w/o the condenser and fan in place.

the tiny tubes most of the air inlets use are pretty worthless for moving much air, the fog light ducts are worthwhile for letting more air get to the coolers, just don't bother trying to duct from there to the rotors

Golden or Platinum rod is a great addition too.

If you are tracking the car mono-ball toe arms and solid rear side mounts are highly recommended

Thanks Bill. Any of those have harsh street consequences?

As long as the pavement is in reasonably good condition , no.

But anything that makes a better track car is pretty much guaranteed to make a worse street car.
