First thing is to lose the 30lbs outback and get the Sharky center bypass. That REALLY improves the sound
of already great sounding car. Some people get wheels and some have studied the 18" wheel vs
the stock 19" Brake fluid is another one, then people put in rollbar/belt mount.
Some radicals go Moton on the shocks and some change to the RS Rear wing.

Great news about that 30lbs thing, same as the RS version?

My car mainly for street, so I don't need the rollbar and 6 point harness.

I just want to make it lighter and faster.

What about single mass flywheel? Is it harder and heavier to use compared with the dual clutch?

Agree with OG and mobonic.

I couldn't live with the eGas throttle, so I bought SharkWerks DME, also. Very happy with both.
Cup splitter will replace my front splitter. Thinking wheels, next.

Oh, and I'm waiting for tcsracing to resolve integrating the 90 liter cup car tank with the computer and fuel gauge before I install it.

According to UPS tracing, my SharkWerks Bi-pass should be delivered to me tomorrow!!

Also 997.1 GT3's front screens should be an addition, while .2's get them factory installed as they should have been for .1s...

Couldn't agree more.

And what people forget is that it helps in both directions - throttle on and throttle off. Between the LWFW and your DME, the car's dynamic response to throttle changes has become much more immediate and easier to modulate/control.

So now the car is quicker and I can drive it faster. Either is an improvement, the combination makes me very happy.
