Pretty sure I got these from PMNA. ~$100 each. May have some at home that are either new or usable. PM me if interested.

Slightly off topic.. I'm assuming you also modded your STi and that is what brought it outside it's design envelope... or is it simply that it's a bit fat and soft while still being relatively quick.

Thanks!,
The STi was modded 9 ways to sunday. It was competitive with the 996 GT3's (locally) BUT for every hour I would drive, I would wrench for 3 hours, kinda took all the fun out of it. Heat was the biggest problem - car weighed 3600 lbs, brake cooling, engine cooling...
Short blocks were $1700, so that was a plus...

my brother has an Evo and we track together regularly. With over 500 awhp in the evo, in the last two years of track time, my GT3 is still a second faster per lap and only requires routine services and fuel. He has been through three turbos and an engine in that time.
When GT3s go bang it's not cheap but make no mistake, Japanese cars are money pits.

Very interesting feedback.. I can also get my mostly-stock STi to high temps (brake and engine) within 5 laps at our local track. Fun and fat car... very excited to get the GT3 out there. Thanks for the input guys.
