I would have waited a little longer and not been one of the first major upgraded tt's. Once the GT700 came out I could have saved myself alot of grief and just bought that kit, which is essentially what happened in the end.

There are probably some things I could add to my car like a different intake/throttle body, the guard gears. But I have spent a fortune on this car and my wife has gone from wanting me to get rid of it to tolerating it. Can't put more money into it right now and as I said I am happy with the package.

Buddy, does your clutch rattles when in neutral ?
I don't like that on my TT, what do I change it for ? -I have a Sachs Stage II LWFW on right now because the car is FVD Stg IV. Maybe GT3RS's clutch ???

Yes you will get that with most of the Light weight flywheels/clutch setups.

Not sure if there is one that won't do that?

.... and that makes me think that you should add yet another "mod". How about a guards red parachute with a big "shart" stain in the middle? It would be so "you" Buddy and it gets you stopped before you hit the spike belts. Just think of the money you're saving not having to re-shoe the Red Beast.
