Then after all the stuff you mention above, perhaps

- Redline TA street-class legal roll cage
- adjustable front and rear aero, so we can get some data / feedback on how to optimize downforce
- data logging system so we can get a closer look at what your car is doing on the track

Keep in mind that this car is still a daily driver first, then a track car second. Weight reduction will be limited to stuff that is easily removed for the track and put back in for street, and lighter weight parts. I am not going to gut the interior or anything like that. Also not going to do a roll cage for the same reasons.

Now adjustable front and rear aero is on the list but I haven't yet found a manufacturer to make something for these cars. APR has universal fitment rear wings, but right now I think getting front downforce is more important as thats where I am lacking the most grip. Maybe my views on that will change after I get some adjustable front camber arms and raise the grip level with the right alignment settings and wider tires.

Data logging is a great idea too

. I would have to learn how to use it though lol.

You seem to be getting the suspension dialed in, just need the front camber fixed up. You are working on the brakes already. The oil cooling may still be an issue, but with the dual core setup that may change. You've increased the power a bit with some bolt-ons...so the question is what do you feel the car needs?

I think a good engine tune utilizing the capabilities of the vvel will be a nice addition for some added power.

Well obviously I will take care of reliability issues first. I am just trying to get a feel for what you guys want to see next. When it comes down to it, every car needs more of everything so I am just trying to see if there is something specific that the community would like to see.
