Last year: Proper corner balance and track alignment, removal of the last bits of suspension rubber with RSS Tarmac bits and pieces, OMP seats with Schroth 6 pt harness and 930 RSS half bar, cup transmission with proper LSD... and last but not least.... Girodisk rotors and 18" O.Z. track wheels..... there was no one single favourite!!

Previous year: LWFW, clutch and crank pulley, SS WEVO motor mounts, SW bi-pass, GT2 rear sway, RSS dog bones, toe kit and screens.

Next season looking forward to just driving!!

[QUOTE=sin911;9111366]I def want to hire a pro coach!

Had some instruction with Kyle Marcelli at Mosport this year. Hopefully he will be available in '12, rumour has it that he may be driving a Cup Car.

These are all great mods, but I have chosen to keep my car as stock as possible this year.

Hi All,

Hey great job with the new vehicle upgrades and performance driving coaching guys. We are lucky to have such spectacular cars, its best we learn how to get the most out of them. Also, great work with the exhaust, wheel, suspension, and LSD upgrades.

I am also loving my Akrapovic Full Evolution system, my GMG sway bars and links, and Guard LSD rebuild. One another mod I would highly recommend would be my StopTech STR brake upgrade.....one can pound on them all day night, week, month, year.....and no fade, no wedging pads, just race quality performance. I use Endless Superfluid, it is excellent too.

Thank you Sir, just a public service announcement for the people with the help of Pete Stout et al. at Excellence. But mdrums! You didn't tell us you best mod! ????

I would like a 997.2 GT3RS transaxle someday, but a Guard ring and pinion might be in order in the nearfuture. Can you tell us more about your gear upgrade....did you customise the ratios? Or graduate from an automatic Jetta.....

+1 on just buying one this year. Longterm dream realized. Going out with a bang at year end with a bypass and Guard rebuild (killed it in 4 track days!)

Selling the 997.2 RS, then buying the same exact car back. Selling it again and buying my first 997.1 back (different car, same colors). And, getting to mod it all over again.
