Not concerned Chad, just offering a better way to spend the cash since it wasn't clear what you ALREADY have on the car.

No worries Dell. Just stirrin the mud.

Much of what is listed might in fact change. Particularly in the engine / power department.

But the track trailer is definately a want...

Hey Dell, I see you're back "slumming" on the 996 Forum again. How is the little one? Are you getting any sleep yet? Kids are the GREATEST thing in the world!

why do you guys enjoy messin' with me lately knowing that I have ZERO sleep???

Man I gotta get a better way to read some of these responses. Maybe a special decoder ring or something

Trailer? Best purchase I ever made for the track. I store my car in it overnight locked up tight. I can store all my track crap in it without worry. And best of all......when I am done with a track weekend and back home I can use it as a storage unit!

I think I hear the kid crying...........

I have to slum from time to time. There is just so much more "fun" topics over her. Do chicks dig a Porsche? Which oil do I use? Would 20" wheels with 385 wide rubber work on my narrow body?

NO F'IN SLEEP!!!!!!!

You could also replace the plastic oem shift linkage with the EVO Shift Link for 119.00 at Bumperplugs

oh i thought you were a trackaholic. 2-3 events on pss9s are fine. curious, do you really need a trailer for only 2-3 events. you can go with a slightly higher spring rate on the pss9s.
those engine mods will only give you a small percentage increase in performance and won't be much of a difference on the street. where 10ths of a second count, those engine mods DO make a difference, on a race track.

I was - we now have a little one.

If I get back into it more, we'll see about some JRZ's or Motons. Time will tell.

Congrats Dell. I remember when I posted on here about being a new Daddy...

Enjoy - It does get better my friend.

Track stuff - Next time you come to Road Atlanta, you are welcome to stay at my house (wife approval of course)...I only live 15-20min from the track.

I can't wait. The motons are just a piece of the puzzle. As soon as I get the car back, I am going to post up on the GT3 board everything I had done.

I have ridden in a GT3 on Road Atlanta with Motons. -WOW-

Granted the driver was a Speed World Challenge driver, but damn...

Totally makes the car react, and drive like it should. YOU WILL LIKEY.
