getting a late start to the season this year mostly due to a heavy workload in the shop. The car will make the 2013 debut April 5-7 at the combined PCA/POC/Pirelli cup Festival of speed event. I've kept most of the progress under wraps from my competition to this point, but once the car gets some fresh paint next week I'll share some more news! If any of you are going to make the event, please stop on by and say hello.
Cage upgrades were on the list. Some of the recent accidents had me thinking more about the speeds this car is reaching now and it doesnt always have to be a mistake to get you in trouble. Added some more 4130 to the cage and also quite a bit of reinforcement to the seat brackets.
Upgraded the ABS system to a four channel TEVES stand alone unit. This is the street car M3 version which is a fraction of the Motorsport unit price. Same pump but the programming is not customizable.
Upgraded to some new 997 cup suspension parts front and rear. Installed some later model subframes that were quite a bit beefier than the '98 versions I was using before. While we were at it, the pick up points were raised a bit.
last but not least, adding some air conditioning!
