4-car lowered 6/10'' and corner balanced with the aligment set up for both track and street i'm not sure of the exact settings--but the car hooks up great and getting some real good lap times vir best 2:10 and i know i can do better.#'s at wgi w/mpsc 2:14's
5-protosport lite catback exhaust ( all 3 stock mufflers gone and replaced with two small manga-flow cans..lost about 55 lbs.sounds great

Well you have done more than me, I have the bar, belts, did the sharkwerks bypass and fire extinguisher, did a track alignment. So my recession budget this year is that I am going to Change the oil in the LSD. If you got money you might want to consider a Guard LSD to improve handling and braking, I want to do adjustable toe links, with locking plates. I am going to put better screens in the front nose. I assume you are using racing pads like 29's. May want to go with stiffer rear springs like 800lbs rear 350 front, so you can soften the rear sway, some go to a GT2 sway bar.

I think Spring rate and LSD are big improvements to the over handling of the car.

gt2 sway bar
maybe replacing rear toe links or a dog bone kit
or even a ecu remap

springs and LSD would be a good combo if you track a lot- those are the real deficiencies of the car in my opinion

I Gave myself a challenge. I had a very hot shoe drive my car at 10/10's no excuses ball it up its on me kind of stuff. Anyways until I can extract the SEVERAL seconds that I am not achieving with the exact same setup my $$ on bits is over, my $$ on coaching is ongoing.

whats a guard lsd? i think the adjustable toe links will be on my list others have reccommened them.but i haven't heard of the locking plates what are they?

i already have the grill screens but my center one got almost totatly wasted when a guys giant logo magnet sign blew of his car and got stuck into my center screen good thing i had that screen. i also found wheel weights stuck in the other ones.so i will be replacing all 3 with new ones this winter.i think i got them from gmg last year the ones that porsche raceing uses.

yea been running the pagid 29's they work great.

I've had similar thoughts and would like to hear (read) all the gory details on your experience, please. The driver, the track, the setup of the car, the given day, the limits, the data acquisition, where you saw the time (line, apex, technique) and the measure of the comparison (best lap, best average lap over 'n' laps, best theoretical) etc.

100% agree take an instructor for ride, theirs alot to learn

I am thinking about replacing the shocks and springs with upgraded Bilstein units which will still accomodate the PASM system. Does anybody know anything about (or, better yet, have any experience with) this system?

GMG makes some really nice components, I had FL install their whole setup this summer. Looking into a chasecam/traqmate setup myself.
btw, I love the pocono long course! Did you hit lightning this year, I liked it better than thunder.

I didn't see RS wing/cup splitter mentioned.

The Video camera option for the traqMate is pretty cool.

Is this the type of information your clients want you to find out?

Seems more like you are giving information, do you have some to sell

You have been less than forthcoming here.

RajGT3

LET IT GO ALREADY.....I'M NOT SELLING.

Not a chance, your signature is an effort to bring attention (negative in this case) to your dealership!

You were "outed" on another thread.

Why don't you just go!
