Have had the 997.1 GT3 for a but over a month...
What are some good bang for your buck mods/improvements I can do over the winter?

Looking at installing the rear brake cooling ducts.
Making a front brake cooling kit using two NACA ducts and 3" hose.
Got a rattle coming from pass seat belt B pillar pivot
Need to research if I have the latest NAV operating system and work on getting updated maps.
Brake caliper stud kit


Suggestions?

- GT2 rear away bar - corner balance and good alignment - not bang for the buck but a must is the coolant pipe fix

After that the sky's the limit. You can see some popular upgrades here:

Stiffer rear bar to further reduce roll?

Oh yea, how did I forget. I do plan to pin/screw the coolant pipes!

Front toe steer arms.
Transmission mounts.
Rear toe steer.
The list goes on from there to the moon. You're in a crackhouse asking addicts to help you start breaking bad... LOL

The gt2 rear bar is stiffer and dials out some of that initial understeer that the .1 experiences

Get a hot girl and take some pictures.
And make friends with some ALMS drivers -- having fast friends makes you faster.

Before going all out on track mods, the money should be spent on coaching. As driving capability progresses, mods can be added. Unfortunately not many of us do it in that order

Gt3de- you have a lot of pfc rotors/pads.. Lol Is that for one season?

mooty

it's not clear what is the intent of the car?
track
street
car coffee
dual purpose

i say just drive it.
no mods needed.

when you are fast like GT3DE, then, i have a short list of useful mods thats 30k or a long list of mods thats 60k

kormaster, you ultra fast. you sell car to me or you need more mods. we have the parts waiting for you.

DC640

I agree w mooty. Just keep driving the car. Like he said.. what purpose are you using this car?

mooty -i need to get something else before i let it go or Ill end up buying another gt3.. wait.. doesnt everyone do that here? buy sell buy sell.. try one in different color..

mooty

Obvious bang for the buck:

Sharkwerks center muffler bi-pass or M&M side muffler delete.

Guard LSD

Grill screens

Other little items would include calliper studs, wheel studs, rear toe links, sway bars and coolant fittings.

Seats and roll bar are a must along with proper pads and brake fluid if you track the car.
