WTF?? I get a busy 5 days, missed this nonsense altogether, figured I have most everything the guide suggests you buy. Actually, they are must haves.

Talking about hijacking a thread...

Nice write-up! Thank You! I learned a few things...:-) -if it wasn't for having to "cope" with looking at that awful baby-blue GT3 -I like white better :-)- in your package shown even with the full license plate "LPCGT3". Wonder who that is....does he get paid royalties every time someone clicks the link? :-) Just kidding...
Anyway, getting off subject... One thing, if I may suggest, is changing the pix of the center locks in your package since they are outdated "specimens" now... no more "500nm"...
As far as "STOCK" GT3's, I've tracked my GT3, which is completely stock, now over 30 times/days in 18 months and you're right, Alex, these cars really need nothing the way they came from the factory (ex Alignment).
While I'm completely happy :-) at this time, but when my clutch goes I'll put in the LWFW, 4.0 pressure plate and the OEM upgraded Guard LSD. No change in sound needed, I'm already banned from Laguna...

Haha yes that's a nice picture from a mag shoot we did a year ago:P And what's with the blue hate

That's a really good point on that picture... thank you! For sure I'll get that picture changed... I have so many pix but went for beauty over substance on that

Ah the clutch should last a very good while indeed! I'd be surprised it that ever fails... The LSD on the other hand

One thing that wasn't completely clear to me was the use of the .2 sport back (carbon, folding, GT2) in a .1RS. Is this a plug and play operation where the airbag is still functional?

Thank you

Absolutely... I think I showed the picture of them in my green Kermit 07RS? If not I'll add it but it has the thorax airbag in there just like your regular seats and plugs in accordingly
