Well.. I was already planning on making the trip down to El Toro for RTTC in February, but after a few days in Vegas culminating in seeing the Optima shootout in Pahrump, I now have tunnel vision and am on a mission to get this car ready for the event. Hell, it's all I've thought about this whole week!
I plan on getting with a group of Bay Areans to make the trip down and am really looking forward to it. But for now, I am sourcing a few things to get ready, but am not going overboard. SEMA/Optima was bittersweet in that it's the premier event for our pro-touring niche, but it makes you want to spend all your money on more badass parts!
Here's what I am going to do in the next month or so and call it good:
rear Wilwood 12" brakes/4 piston
rear Varishocks
rear Hellwig sway bar
235/315 Nitto NT05 tires to meet 200 treadwear rule
Canton Road Race oil pan
2.5 lb fire extinguisher
And I just picked this barely used Be Cool radiator with dual Spal fans for a great price of craigslist today. Paid just over $500.. sells for $1100+
I'm so stoked to do the RTTC... this bug really seems to be getting a lot more people lately. I'll be starting a Bay Area RTTC thread soon.
