Possible pad change
Figure out which side skirt to put on the car

Thats about it unless something unforseen happens. :wink:

Jack Harris from P1 Auto has already tuned my setup with PowerFC. I am hoping we can dial in the cams a little bit to expand my powerband. I'm currently over cammed :(

Rear wiper = useless (PS = I hate windshield wipers)

I ordered a plug today along with the rubber shifter boot and a left rear caliper. That may be all I need.

Slightly overcammed per se? I think I've met that Jack guy before. :D What kind of power is that puppy making currently? I'd say let's street race, however with the removal of that rear wiper its totally not fair anymore.
