Round 1 was to get rid of the stock wheels in favor of some 19 inch HRE Monoblok P43's in brushed....

I'll give you guys some soon for sure And yes on lowering... I have to say it rides so darned nice compared to the gen 1 PASM cars that as I was telling Pete it's a hard one to tackle... I don't think it "needs" Bilsteins (should they become available) and I've never been keen on springs so

Buttons Buttons!!

There is no way you can remember on the track which way the buttons go. You have 4 possibilities to choose from. On the AMG Right Paddle is up, Left Paddle is down. So much simpler even I can remember which way to go. Wifey has paddles on the 335i and they are pull up push down. I can never remember which way to go when driving spiritedly Too complicated

I think very soon indeed We'll need to put it in your hands since you have the MK1 997S. See what the real difference is....

As far as it being better than the GT3 or RS

I'm surprised you would even let me in the PDK Greenie after the the ride I gave you you in the little croc.

As fas as being better than the GT3/RS.....I have given up trying to find that car. Can't wait for my 3.8 conversion and the LLWF.

Alex I like the look keep us posted. I have a question, not trying to derail your thread. With PDK, do you think that it takes some of the fun our of tracking a car like this. Yes real quick shifts, but No More heal toe downshifting, which I kind of enjoy. what do you think.
