U need to paint the wing shims- they are an ugly dull orange. On stock wing 8 degrees for those high speed kinks. When u say gt3 cup mirrors are u referring to actual cup mirrors- they have real bad visibility esp passenger side. Thought bout buying a set but Mooty had some on his stripper he did not like them. Mike
yes cup black mirror. i have them already and was planning to install them on the gt3. i know the visibily isnt the best as i put them on my 4s...
Congrats, you will love this car. It's a blast to drive. Don't be afraid of it but give it all your respect. If I were you I would leave it as stock as possible in order to learn it well. Leave some rubber in the suspension cause you need to learn how the car talks to you.
thanks chris, will need some of your coaching in the gt3
yup yup. 3 sets of wheels, 3 set of rubbers and lot of brand new spare tires

well, i drove the car a few miles this week and wow, what a beast. I still dont believe how the car is powerfull. Totally a different league from an 996 4s.
the car is really stiff with all the suspension bits, very noisy in the cabin, brakes are all there!!
all that make my gt3 experience so good so far
the car has been lowered this week and track alignment was done
mufflers are installed, a little more deeper sound but not much.
did some alcantara inserts in the inside today
will install gt3 decals this weekend with some fresh rubbers
smoke 3rd brake light and front tow hook are installed
rennline track mats and pedals set installed
track wheels are back from powdercoating, matte black with new cup tires
will have some updates later
