GT3 seats first and foremost . I cant stand the mislabeled "sport seats". Cups would be next, along with the right alingment. Then harness w/rollbar. RS wing. lighter set of wheels. Ohilns suspension, maybe motons. Chip helps throttle response more than anything else. That's about it

Suspension upgrade (Moton Clubsports)
LWF/Clutch kit
Close-ratio gears w/Motorsport LSD (GT-3's come with the blasted 2-plate things)

A GOOD chip will sharpen throttle response and compliments the LWF.

If one does DE events, a proper seat & harnesses are a given,....

Hi John:

Call me on Monday AM and I'll go over the whole list with you.

The Motorsport LSD is slightly less $$$ than the Guard ones, but not as strong. Functionality is very comparable but the Guard ones have several options that are quite useful,....


LVGolf98:

Good point on R compound tires. I'd assumed that anyone doing track events would know that tires are what holds the car to the road and as such, are THE single most important part of the "recipe" here,....

Do you feel the motons with the standard GT3 geometry is better than the homolgated (RSR) geometry, shocks, springs of the GT3 RS ?
