All those parts on a NA and no tune? Seriously not worth it.
Get a tune and flash back when needed. |

Maybe look into a short shifter-kartboy? See @tom@kartboy for the shifter bushings as well-amazing quality, great vendor and the car feels amazing now with the parts installed.
And hit me up if he wants Perrin front control arm braces |

Suspension wise looks like my setup, which you will enjoy.
Koni strut inserts RCE yellow springs Whiteline rear adjustable camber bushings Whiteline rear positive traction kit inserts AVO front LCA/caster adjustment bushings Cusco front strut tower bar w/ master cylinder brace Cusco rear strut tower bar' 18x8.5F 225 width 18.9.5R 255 width Volk TE37SL with Kumho Ecsta (want to go back to Michelin Pilot Super Sports, which I call the "heroic" tire). No rubbing. For those who enjoy a stiff but compliant suspension, this setup is wonderful. Those who do not like NVH need not apply, there is a sporty amount of NVH with this setup. To me it is plenty bearable. As for the whole "no FI" thing, well, my car won't really fit into that box. Oh, and your buddy is missing a tune on his list. Maybe e85. |

What's with all this stretched tire bs for a track/dd car.
8" wide equals 235 8.5 for 245...I would assume without a turbo to break loose tthehe tires 235 will be plenty of grip and keep the weight down. Also tune...

Take the car to the track as is and find out what you want to change about it after a track day or two. Don't go mod crazy. Learn the car first then mod.
Is your car even going to be on the track and is it often?
