Your car is sold Jit or?

Thanks you in advance :wave

The 996 GT3 RS is  a great car.. if you can go hard with them (very hard to drive at high speed, with his rear heavy engine) but very fast in mid-short track, for experience of many friends. The 997 had the engine reloacated and better balanced apparently.

I had never tracked a FD, but i think it\'s a very great balanced car with little suspension setup upgrades.

My principal worries is about the cooling. If you know what is the best thing about that (or in additionnal with the parts of the FD what i am looking for).

Many thanks guys! :WaveBye

Thanks Clive! :yes

Thanks Jon, i noted your email for some future parts. :yes

I forgot to mention that the car will  make not only trackday! It is also for week-end and holiday (polyvalent use). But I prefer to spend a lot of time thinking about the setup-track because I run on  circuit with a lot of friends in Lotus honda SC (and NA) and others with 996/7 GT3 RS, i know it\'s very difficult to follow this cars (with great drivers) but it\'s for just make fun with all of us.

I don\'t want a very powerful car, but just a great balanced (lot of work for the future chassis) car with perfect cooling/adjusment for the engine. :InLove

Hi all,

   I am seeing to buy an FD.

 I wanted to have your feedback on people who make a lot of track with their cars.

 In your opinion what are the changes to be made in addition to this configuration:

The engine is fresh rebuild, (not porting, full stock spec rebuild)

clutch new (stock spec)
hose clutch aviation
new water pump
new ingnition leads
new fuel filter
Oil catch tank

exhaust setup:
DP+ high flow Bonez+xs power catback (i\'m looking to exchange with the R&B cat-back for better looking et more quiet)

The turbos are revised (zenki model) and ported wategate.
Twins HKS induction
Elbow HKS
Efini Y-pipe

Cooling

Peter Farell IC
fan swtich mod
Koyo rad
Silicon hoses
AST famspeed
Re amemiya 0,9b pressure caps

Electronics:

Knightsport ECU (i think a Power FC looking better with a great mapping in Uk?)
TT greddy.. and some gauges ( water/oil temp, oil press, Turbo boost, fuel pressure), an AFR is really needed?

for the chassis:

KYB+eibach springs (not better but not money for real Nitrons or other kit)
the car has a new bushing delrin kit
Aviation brakes hose.
the reste is stock specs for brakes. (upgrade in future..)

My first concern would be to make the circuit without having to worry all the time if the car does not heat up too. As you could see my setup engine is not very important. I\'m interested in all good advice. By the way my FD has both original oil coolers, do you think, that change for bigger would be better?

Many thanks in advance folks, :cheers

Sorry for my broken english! :Santa
