Help!

Having just installed the GT3 seats, & found they make me less slow on the track (and the look great too), I've got the mod bug again. I calculate these will save me ~20lbs of unsprung weight, & I like the way they look better than my lobster forks.

Can somebody stop me by convincing me I'd be a ****** to do this please?

If that doesn't work, just post some non-banned photos.

Dude, way better than those gay-*** lobster forks. Go for it, you know you can afford it. It'll be even better than the GT3 seat mod. 20 lbs. of unsprung weight = like a kagillion horse power! You know you'll get your money back at trade in time.


BTW, you're a ****** either way, so go for it.

Holy crap. Have you not sat in the blue or yellow classrooms? I fancy pair of race shoes will shave something like 15 seconds off your time! Bling and self adornment is where I'd be spending my money.

Oh yeah.......******!

Hey Mike, it's a win-win situation. If you get all of the go-fast stuff and actually go faster, you can blame it on the stuff! And if you don't, well then you really are HWFM material.

Dude, get a racing suit. And then sit around in the classroom with it opened down to the waist like a badass track god. That's worth like 20 or 30 horse power right there. Then, during question and answer, talk about all the other slower drivers that don't give you a passing signal fast enough. Then you'll be a real ******...

The wheels will look great (does anyone really like those lobster claws?) and you may figure how how to use the lower US weight one day. I'm sure you have heard all of the stories about Champion wheels and just decided to ignore them......

when you open the race suit be sure to have a gold chain hanging down with a coin on it that gets stuck in the top fold of your big "Mandle" when you sit.
