I'd been thinking about spending £20k but over time rather than all in one hit.
Currently I'm thinking RSS kit, semi-solid engine and transmission mounts, full exhaust system (Capristo or Cargraphics), I'm worried about the noise though for track days! IPD plenum, GT3 throttle body, Brembo braking system and something to improve gearshift feel. Seen a housing that fits under the transmission tunnel, so keeps OEM look and maybe cup cables too. Might get a lightweight battery if there's any change. Would love to try your Spyder, it sounds like an absolute weapon!
I spent about £8k but don't have a brake issue, but you would then see what 6 pots would bring to you, (amazing) Currently I'm thinking RSS kit, semi-solid engine and transmission mounts, full exhaust system (Capristo or Cargraphics), I'm worried about the noise though for track days!

I cannot afford more as the GT4 needs funding. but it would give you some idea what camber and brakes bring, and how 300lb/ft feels like.

Out of curiosity, anyone know how many 987 Spyders were made and how many in the UK?

Semi solid engine AND tran mounts, makes my ears hurt just thinking about it!
I know I thought about that. But I've been assured that the street version is not too intrusive.J-P said:

I can't wait to read this topic as it comes along.. I really think another 25-40 BHP, nice induction noise and exhaust would make a CR. Kind of wish mine was out of warranty...
