Sounds great brother! I need to get some PDR work done on my doors... we've moved to a new facility at work, and the spaces are a bit tighter. NO ONE is careful these days

My plan is pretty much the exact same lol. I may not run with suspension but it depends on how much and what you get for the ground control stuff.
First thing first- aesthetics. Engine, Interior and Exterior.
The engine will be easy since all I really need to do is cut the front engine cover so that it sits properly, and pretty up the top of the coolant reservoir from JB welding the nipple back on. The intake tubes and K&N's will be as soon as I can get them, next month most likely.
Interior - Partly my fault, partly the previous owner. I need to deep clean the carpets to remove minor stains. Peel off the white plasti-dip I layed over the silver trim (looks like crap matte white). Finish the steering wheel emblem delete. Recolor guages white. Figure out what I'm going to do with fading in some areas.
Exterior - I can play it off in pictures like it looks good, but it needs minor scratches (over all of it) buffed out. Grille re-painted. Rims finished. Carbon fiber wrap re-done. Front emblem re-done. Strakes re-done.
All of that is projected to be done in the next few months lol.
Then it's wavetrac installed at Unitrax. And finally the Spec Clutch stage 3.
That's 5.0 Albino for 2014 lol.
Awesome stuff Josh! The Wavetrac will probably be a "surprise" mod for me... it's not planned, but all it takes is one misstep of the OEM differential. I'm definitely making adequate power now LOL

Makes me want to do one of two things:
1. Never open my hood again
2. Go pick up a bucket of Elbow Grease and a couple of boxes of Want To and get to work on mine
Very nice!!
Thank you sir! Mine is a daily driver, but I try to give the engine a douse with Simple Green roughly once a month. Keeps it fairly tidy

I too am anxious to see what the Ground Control guys have coming. Suspension mods are about all I am thinking of doing to my NA. The rest is as far as I am going on the NA except for SRT Wheels.
Good to see your posts John.
Franc, as fast as you already are, a proper suspension on that
roadster with a stick will make you very dangerous in the corners.

My AIM Solo Lap Timer just arrived and I hope the learning curve with Race RenderII is fast. Overlays on the horizon! I need to splice into the TPS and VSS wires for the Zietronix. A deep transmission pan is a possibility. I'd like to hook up the meth injection once more and get it working correctly. Before adding more power I need to work on consistency on the track. So a few driving schools are planned. More is sure to come as the year goes bye.

Looking forward to seeing your times with the GC system, Les... I'm already amazed at your capabilities and I have a sneaking suspicion you're not 100% stocked with your setup as-is. So, with some additional hardware, you're going to be tough to catch
