Winter Plans Anyone???
Now that the season is about over... what are everyones plans for mods over the winter? I know a BBK is in store for me. Looking at Rotora, any pro/cons? Also plan on installing a roll bar with seats and harness. Oh and some brake ducting. If I could get all that done in say the next 3 months I would be pretty satisfied. So what will you be doing to knock off a few seconds at your favorite track?

coilovers and arms , and of course we really dont have a winter. I do need to take 6 weeks off, so i will count that.
EDIT , brake cooling ducts this weekend . I hope to have them done for streets of willow in a couple weeks.

Might be fine for drifting, but those front bars with the bends in it, and no diagonal stress bar on the main hoop? Calling that "safety" equipment is false advertising at BEST.
Sorry if it sounds like a flame, but I can't let this one go.
