- Greddy Turbo Timer
- Sparco Wheel
Started tracking the car with basic bolts-ons the same way as OP, and caught the 'bug'
Things I like:
- For the money (which is still relatively a lot) this car is FAST.
Things I don't like:
- Heavy
- Hard on tires
- Hard on Brakes
- Hard on Gas
- Alot of Maintenance (change all fluids after 2-3 events
Future:
- Sell and get a spec miata or spec E30
- I wanted to go with a BBK and Cams, oil cooler and some more odds and ends but...
Seriously! This car has been a TON of fun, but to track it regularly is getting expensive. Plus since I bought this car new with a sticker price of 37K the amount invested is high and to wreck it would be a disaster. I love this car but will be selling it soon. I want to have a track dedicated car that I'm not making any payments on!

Hmm..
Suspension:
-Whiteline roll center correction kit
-Whiteline shock mount bushing
-Whiteline rear LCA bushing
-Whiteline front LCA bushings
-OEM rear lower control arm to spindle bushings
-MR Bilsteins
Brakes:
Blank rotors
Hawk Blue pads
ATE superblue brake fluid
Motor-
HKS cams
AMS TBE
Apexi Intake
Injen LICP
Not really after a lot of power.. as you can see.
Wheel/tire setup
17 x 9" A-tech wheels
Hankook 255 40 17
Drivetrain
TRE build Transfer case
Exedy Carbon Twin disc
MR 6-spd transmission (the car is a GSR, but the 6-spd gear ratios work WONDERFUL on the track)
I've had it for about 4 months now.. still a long work in progress. First track day out at Gingerman was a total failure due to multiple stupid issues all lining up to be fixed.
Modifications i've done so far that i've thoroughly enjoyed...
-Peace of mind my drivetrain won't take a poop, due to the TRE upgrades and such.
-Clutch is a work of art, you can't imagine how nice this clutch is to drive!!
-Whiteline.. because stock bushings had way too much slop.
Future modifications-
Finish the whiteline setup for everything on the car
Get more seat time in the EVO (AWD is still new to me, I am extremely familiar with RWD)
Max lock rear diff by TRE and the ACD upgrade for better turn in.
It's fun!
(for an understanding of what the turd looks like...)
