Sold the Perrin TMIC and GMS Up-pipe. I have the Perrin Front Strut Tower Bar up for sale too since it wouldn't fit over the 13mm bolts that the Vorshlag camber plates use. Stock is 12mm and the spacing on the bolt recesses built into the bar aren't big enough for 13mm nuts.
I'd like to get a strut bar that looks good and fits these plates but don't want to pay the expense to be a guinea pig.
I'm about to make a change in my suspension. The WL 27/24mm combo hasn't matched up to the spring rates of my T2s very well, resulting in a lot of understeer when I push the setup. It's an autocrosser setup with the big front bar, which helps make it twitchy, but I'm having a hard time getting the car to oversteer, which I greatly prefer. So I'm going to swap over to the new RCE swaybars front and rear. I can drop the front down to 25.5mm with a solid bar this way and run 25.5mm out back to hopefully neutralize the handling a bit more and get more rotation out of the car.
I also plan on swapping out my WL ALK Comfort version with a Sport version so that my caster numbers hopefully line up side to side better. Then I plan on attacking the lateral links and trailing arms to finish the GD suspension off.
I want to change my 18" wheel choice too. I have the Ultraleggeras and they're a very nice wheel, but I'm in love with the Prodrive GC-010C in British Black in an 18x9 size. This will let me run 245 width tires, which I plan on upgrading with some Dunlop Star Specs.
I'll need to swap out my front rotors in the next 20k miles too. I'll be going with some DBA two-piece lightweight rotors then to further reduce rotating weight and aid in some turn-in that I'll most likely lose with the swaybar switch.
The ACPT carbon fiber driveshaft is on my list too. I really want to lighten up the rotating pieces for quicker revs.
I'm also going to be selling my Cobb V1 Accessport and Street Tuner soon to upgrade to the V2 Accessport. The reason for the switch is pretty simple. The V2 firmware updates have made it vastly superior in function, but more importantly, have allowed tuners access to more menus than the V1 could ever do. Plus, no more 30-40 minute base map reflashes with the new USB interface. I have my original PROtuner maps saved and have a PROtuner ready to do the V1 to V2 conversion for me so that it should be seamless. I'll lose the ability to make my own changes since tuners aren't embracing ATR, but in the longrun, that may be a better thing with my future goals for the car.
You'll notice I left out power mods. My tuner is convinced that he can get me as the car sits now to 330whp out of the stock turbo. I think its entirely possible too because I haven't even put on the Prodrive EBCS yet. That's where the car sits right now. Power comes on hard then tapers off in the upper rpms. It makes for a really nice daily driver...but it won't be a daily driver next year. ;)
