after deciding to keep the car for a little longer.
I decided to upgrade a few things

- apex spring kit : caliper and disks with CL6E pads
- spiegel braided lines front and back
- whittling bushing: rear frame and differential
- under body JDM aero plates, mostly for protection of the under carriage against debris at the track.
- RaceComp Engineering Tarmac 2 (KW V3CS) with 500 lbs springs
- Raceseng back plates with 2" drop
- Ground control front camber plate with truss brace.
- Apex Alignment to make sure everything play nice.
- Cusco gas pedal for easier heel and toe.
- oil pressure gauge for peace of mind.
- removed the air box resonator, for cleaner engine bay.
- installed perrin throttle body duct (may cost me point in my class, so I may put the poem tube back on).
- installed fire extinguisher mount on the roll cage.
- installed go pro mount on the roll cage
- installed ram mount for mobile phone in the double din area (iphone or OFT)
- bought open flash tablet and added the latest 93 octane flash, mainly to benefit from the latest firmware.

The Raceseng 2" drop plate helped keeping camber to +-3, even with a massive lowering of the car, so I did not need any lower control arm, which would cost me additional point in my potential running class NASA PTD.

The car weight 2540 lbs as of today, without driver and with only one seat. I did not corner balance the car yet, I'll wait a few track days to have everything settle before.

I did all the work myself after TR3 became unresponsive on me. I have to say that after working on the car myself I realized a lot of little things did not receive the love they should have. So I took my time and put all the wiring away nicely, zip tie things neatly, add all rivets missing and that sort of things that a shop will not do for you... I assume.

Anyways, i am anxious to get back on track and see how the car behave with the new setup.

TO DO :
- oil change motul 300v 0W20 or thicker / DONE
- magnetic oil plug / DONE
- transmission oil change
- liquid coolant change.
- Kill switch wiring.
- JDL ULE header with power coating (bought with recent group buy on the forum)
- E85 kit, either open flash tablet, but most likely moto-east system for peace of mind and be able to see the actual octane levels.
- super pro full bushing kit, including all control arms bushing, front and back, pricey but one of the few no point upgrade in NASA PTD class.
