I've used a few of those MOST boxes over the years (NavTV, Connects2, Seicane, Longate etc)

Went to see my motor sitting on a cart : (




My indy is making a list of recommended parts. So far:
  • Clutch
  • RMS
  • Remove IMS seal
  • Secondary air injector
  • Oil pump
  • Coolant tank
  • AOS
  • Starter
  • Alternator Harnes
  • Idler pullys
  • Thermostat
  • Hoses

Items I'm on the fence about:
  • Fuel rails
  • lightweight flywheel

I don't think you need the lightweight flywheel or fuel rails
If the stock flywheel is in good shape reuse it.or stick with the OEM

I tend to agree on the stock flywheel. Car has 66k on it, not sure I want to risk it going after all this.

My guy likes to replace all the rubber and plastic and it looks like the rail is one big part. He is recommending doing the injector seals and once you go in there the rails can get compromised.

Dropped it off at Dundon Motorsports to get my corner balance and alignment dialed in.

It is crazy how a $100k car has a key fob like a 90s Ford Taurus.
Mine was dead yesterday, which is the second time one has been dead in the last 2 months.
I got the proper batteries and both have "forgotten" their programming.
After some messing about, I got one to work, and one works some of the time.
ugh.
I guess it is a good car if I am just complaining about the fob.
still...997.1 key fob fml.

Thumbs up Cruise Control

I had a cruise control retrofit done, wasn't cheap £582 but it was a good job and it works perfectly. Hopefully it'll stop me speeding but somehow I doubt it

Did you put a new carpet/deck like a gt3 or just remove the seats?

Just seats for now. Since I use a windbreaker at all times, its less of an issue, but may build a flat deck with subs down the line
