I paid the road course fee for Proving Grounds last night. The guy running the event confirmed that ride-alongs are permitted. Not sure who will be coming with me, I've invited a couple people from EvoXforums.

Very nice! You are running out of stuff to add to your car It's going to start getting really (if it hasn't already) expensive to start changing anything, lol.

That's my plan to offset my dumb ass huge wheels, get the girodisc rotors, same concept as lighter wheels

Lomker, I am guessing you couldn't justify the rear 2 pieces? I am struggling internally with myself between the 2 piece and 1 piece for when I finally buy them.

That would be sweet to go nuts on rotational weight upgrades, driveshaft, rotors, wheels, etc. Not the most cost effective way to pick up a few HP, but it's nice to get some essentially free HP. (By free, I mean not running any more boost, timing, not really changing the tune etc)

No. The rears don't do that much braking which is why my new setup will have milder rear pads than the front (XP8 vs XP10). I don't care about weight, just cooling.

As far as what's left for future changes--driver mod, aero and suspension adjustment.

The motor will have to come out at some point and I'm leaning toward a 2.2 overbore. I'm wondering if higher compression pistons would make sense.
