I'm in the MP class as well, so let me give you some tips. Break early and wait until you track out to hit the gas. You also want to remember that the local laws prohibit full throttle at any point on the track. Oh, and another thing, you're better off running street tires there. May I suggest the Warrior TR??? You can buy a set from Discount Tire for $250.

I thought a good, deep tread studded snow tire might be just the ticket - any suggestions?

LOVE the gt3 cup bumper, gt3 sides, and no wing.

IMO the Misha wing is way too big for the narrow body. If you do decide on a wing do the gt3, but it looks great without.

Thanks Vik - I really like the clean look with no wing. I agree with the gt3 wing if I do decide to go with one at some point - sometimes clean and simple is better...

sky213 - I actually found the seats used on the rennlist forum. Natural brown isn't a common color so I jumped on them as soon as I found them.

calicoupe - thanks for the invite, sept was a crazy month for me so I couldn't make it - maybe next time!

Great looking car! I really like the look without the wing as well, but how does it handle at speed? I have heard many comments about not installing only the front GT3 bumper (without spoiler) as it would be very dangerous. What are your personal thoughts after driving it like that for some time?

I'll be honest I always thought Narrow bodies looked kinda goofy without some sort of spoiler (preferably a GT3 IMO) but that hands down is the cleanest looking car inside and out !! Kudos to you sir

calicoupe - i don't have gt3 ways, i went with h&r's

bkj12 - so far so good, my understanding is that you're ok with a gt3 front and the stock rear mechanical wing, but you don't want to put on a large wing in back without an aggressive spoiler up front. The only thing I noticed when I was at Laguna Seca a couple of months ago was a little wiggle in the rear when braking hard around 120mph, but that was coming into turn 2 and could be because I didn't have the car completely straight when I applied the brakes.
