Default Minimal essential mods to tracked GT3/RS

OK, you can go nuts (Trackrat ) and make the car materially better and faster.

I on the other hand bought the RS because I like to leave the car as stock as possible and enhance warranty chances. My essential enhancements are only aimed at safety, durability and lowering operating cost.

Essential to me:
- SRF brake fluid and endurance pads.
- Grippier pedals for better heel n toe. More so if you have big feet.
- Roll bar and 6 point seat belts 9Both seats!) for safety and track comfort. Don't forget Hans belts and Hans device.
- Full wrap or you will have to repaint eventually
- Studs in caliper, or you will eventually strip out an upright.
- Cup splitter, they are cheaper and more flexible
- Gurney flap. OK, this is questionable but it balances out CUP lip.
- CUP LSD, the car needs it to be more stable and maybe wishful
thinking but it might keep transmission temps down.
- CUP rear toe arms, hold better allignment, saves on tires.
- Slotted front rotors, will pay back in nextended life over OEM cross drilled ones.
- Sharky bypass final exhaust if you have an RS because the OEM ones burn out in only a few track days and I doubt they keep replacing them 3x a year.
- Brake caliper piston puck holder, or you'll spend ours fishing the pucks out of your rotors.

I think that's it. Did I forget something?
