    Congrats on the purchase and certainly enjoy it !

    Couple quick points:
    1) You wont be able to run roll center adjusters w/ 15" wheels. The lower ball joint barely clears as is.
    2) Get a Samco hose over an Alta. Just a nicer hose in general. I reaaally like the Craven CAI as it replaces the entire airbox, and i think its the only one that does.
    3) Check out the Orranje spoiler rather then the extention. It costs more, but looks 10x better and will function better (how much ? i have no idea).
    4) Waymotorworks has the best looking brake ducts.
    5) JAN Tune = RMW
    6) 949racing 6uls are some of the better 15" wheels to get for track purposes. Ive tried a few others as well, so feel free to PM for more details.


    Looking forward to the pics! :Thumbsup:

    I have mixed feelings about the mounting of the engine damper on pass side...
