Quick update:

I just got my GT2 buckets installed and also got the RSS toe steer kit and rear links...they made a huge difference. Big to Sharkwerks for getting everything installed in time for Thunderhill this past weekend. I'm still waiting on my RS930 roll bar to get completed.

I just signed up for NCRC's Thunderhill event Apr 27/28 (3rd event since Feb when I started DE ), unfortunately I'm on the waitlist for Saturday, but will definitely be running on Sunday. My 24K mile service is coming up and I'm going to replace my brake fluid with Endless RF-650. Anything else I should do?

I'm also planning on joining PCA's Buttonwillow event during Memorial Day weekend. I'm looking forward to meeting more Rennlisters...

Thanks. Should I stick with stock/OEM transmission oil, or are there better alternatives?
