I have followed the development of your car from the begining, and maybe I am taking this the wrong way, but if I were you I would have lost it with S Car Go by now.
I realize the amount of time and energy it takes in a project like this, but for the amount of money you have spent, your car should take priority above anything else they have in their shop.

S Car Go has actually been doing a great job. There are things that they simply can't control. Things just keep changing. .............. Besides, I have plenty of other things to keep me busy.
As for the suspension. We will change things one at a time, take it to Infineron for some tests and then change another item. We need to have the car running with the desired power for this.

Me too. Haven't spoken with Rob @ S Car Go Racing since Monday. I'll give him a call tomorrow.

All the above, a little more but no air jacks.
Brakes that are way lighter and the GT3 Cup ABS/accuator. These Cup parts make the braking about 100 times quicker than the 996 system. This is no exaggeration. The lighter brakes will gain better feel. In addition, the four way JRZ's and the sway bar will be able to be "trimmed" on the fly while entering the turns.
I guess one of the most radical changes will be the front end which will get new uprights/hangers capable of utilizing the GT3R front hubs.

I just received some very interesting information. One reagrding throttle bodies and the other re seats.
The new 996 GT3 is using a 82 mm TB. Yes, that is 6 mm larger than the 76 mm currently being used on the GT3 and yes we can use it on our 996's. Unfortunately it is not larger than 90 mm so it is no help to KA, but to everyone else your 76 mm TB's are now obsolete.
Regarding seats . The new GT3 racing seats look exactly like the CGT seats and yes they will fit in our 996tt's. It looks like the old GT3 seats are on their way out. These new seats are exactly what I have been looking for. I should have mine in three weeks.

Do you have any information on this intake manifold? We looked at dual TB's but were not able to overcome the fly by wire problems with the accelerator.
