the entry fee won't seem as high after you do a session and see the kind of return you're getting on your investment. It is an investment AFAIK, you're making yourself a better driver, which will pay dividends later on down the road.

Aside from the high *** entry fee all you need is a mechanically sound car and a willingness to learn.

Or you could get a motorized garden tool or some other appliance

I'm really interested what a rear diff upgrade would drive like. There has been alot of discussion lately and I'm not sure I believe it to be the cure-all for exit understeer.

Get it done, and let us drive it :P

I would like to try those. The spec-r's drive great, but a bit more clearance up front would be nice. Especially in the snow.

Sways would possibly cure my noise in the front end as I suspect my front bar is bent. There is a method to my madness you know...

Nope, this money is mine to play with. Although I am stretched a little thin right now, esp with our trip this weekend.

Jeff's setup is great imo. Although I did not drive the car, it felt very comfortable, but you can feel the increased spring rate over stock. I really like his, as well as Ben's setup!

I agree, thats pretty much exactly what I plan on doing to mine. Camber plates, Bilsteins, and GTworx. Hopefully some whiteline sways also...
