Carn3rd, fronts are close but the rears are a ways off.
Seems you are putting the cart before the horse, first things first, get a GT3. I mean that nicer than it sounds, get the car then worry about mods. I always "dreamed" of what my mods would be, then I switched from a twin turbo to a GT3 and fell off the "slippery slope".
Are you going to be tracking your GT3 when you finally get it?
If so, how much?
Stock wheels are only okay for track use, that is until you use lightweight wheels and proper tires, then you will see and feel the difference.
Just trying to help.

carefree,
carn3rd has GT2 wheels off his turbo. turbo has been sold, he's trying to unload the GT2 wheels. i think he has a buyer for those wheels but the buyer intends to put them on GT3, thus leading to the original post.
but yeah, get the damn car. we need more of those here in bay area.

If i can afford it, the GT3 will pretty much live at the track. Thanks for the advice though!

what seat did you choose?

i can't wait to see it.

20 track days @ 300/ea avg: 6000
3 sets of tires @1300/set avg: 4000
2 sets of pagids approx: 1500
2 sets of front and 1 set of rear rotors: 2000
4 DIY oil changes: 500
annual maintenance: 1000
3 alignments per year, you dont want to skimp on this. my car is alignment checked every time it's at tony's and it's there ALOT.: 600
so ROUGHLY 15600.
oh, i forgot fuel. i dont keep track of fuel b/c it's depressing. but i need 3 full tanks per day then add some gas to/from track: 300/day at 20 day = 6000
i guess 20k will do it.

John, please don't remind us of how much we are spending!
We are having way too much fun driving. The cost associated with driving/tracking are to be expected and forgotten (I can only hope).
Colby, sounds like your GT3 is in route? and you have a lot planned for this bad boy.
Pictures of prior and after would be cool, what color combo did you get?

Definitely will get before and after pictures! Lots planned! It's always been a dream of mine and nothing will be spared! Right now will be mostly safety goods: bar, harness, seats, toe links, rotors, and pads.
The car is silver on black, cause we all know silver is the fastest color.

Either TC or GMG is going to custom fab and weld one for me. Havent choosen the seats yet. I'll be talking with Fabryce tomorrow about that. Most likely pole positions or SPG's. I only have around 2k for seats. Any suggestions?
Rotors arent dead but they are cracking... RS29's. Got it. Thanks John!
O' and you'll be the first person i call when i get the car back to Northern California!!!

the seats you mentioned are great stuff, but the bracket and sliders are not cheap. budget $400-600 for sliders and seats. anything less then that will bind. i have every slider recaro and sparco made, they are all POS. i have "secret" stash but i cannot disclose. suffice to say cost more than sparco/recaro. is that 2k for TWO seats? if so, you will not be able to get new spg's. you will barely get two pole positions with slider/brackets.
cracked rotors are fine.
