Default off to the track

All the mods are almost complete so the next Qld Raceway session should be intersting.
Have been around with the car completely standard so it will be good to compare times etc.
I essentially raided the pumaspeed catalogue and got everything imported.
Just getting the cams and performance pulley set installed on Tuesday so should be a load of fun.
Although the best mod you can do is always suspension and sticky rubber.

So mods done so far.

KW coil overs ( sensational body control on the track - pretty harsh ride

H&R front swaybar ( see above)

all available suspension performance bushes ( noticed no difference)

performace discs - (better brake cooling)

mintex race pads - (noisy but great bite and pedal feel)

braided brake lines - (perhaps better pedal feel) replaced fluid with penrite Sin

complete millitek exhaust system ( seemed to reduce low end torque considerably- but top end was a bit better)

k&n filter system (sounds great but negligable improvement)

dreamscience flash tune (made the biggest difference to performance - cured the annoying idle/low speed problems)

ridiculous expensive spark plugs and leads - (made no difference)

fitted 15 inch wheels with yokohama advans (yet to test the stickyness but the ride is so much more comfortable)
