New upgrades to track car!

[ViperRay]

Well, I put the carbon fiber (real) GTS-R wing and the front splitter on my track car ('97 GTS) from Bob Woodhouse's old '96 GTS which had been gutted on the interior by fire at the recent MAM Viper Days event.
While I was at it I upgraded the brakes to Dave's SRT brakes. Mark Jorgensen and the Woodhouse team did great work, as usual.
I will try to attach pics (from my gallery) below.
Meanwhile, I therefore have a few items to sell like Tom Hayden's rear brake upgrade (40mm piston calipers) and stock '97 GTS wheels with sport pilots mounted in excellent condition, rotors, all of which I will post in classifieds.
Now I need to make better lap times!

Sweet. Red cars are my fave, and they are always the fastest. Ones with stripes even faster!

ViperRay,

I have an 01 GTS ACR that I'm modifying for track use too. Mine is red / silver. I already have Dave's big brakes and they work well. You may also want to add the rear anti-toe bracket. It helps a bunch under hard braking, which the new brakes will allow you to do. Ask Dave for more info.

What I need now is the splitter / wing combo. Does Woodhouse sell these or was this the last one? If you don't mind, what can I expect to pay for these items and how difficult / costly was the install?

I also need a pair of race seats and mounting brackets.

I sure would like that front splitter.

I'll take the Tom's calipers and rear rotors off your hands.

Thanks Aaron.

Dan, the wing is an original wing as those used in the GTS-R racers that Woodhouse parted with after his old GTS got trashed. If this wasn't available, I was going to get the CF wing from Snake Oyl. The splitter is tougher. The only other front splitter I saw that was functional (not just for show) was one that I believe Parts Rack sells... it's adjustable too... aluminum I believe.
This splitter I have is made from a kind of plywood and I got a thin balsa plywood template for it so I can make another when I trash this one!
The wing I have was $6500 when new but of course I got a good deal even though it looks perfect.
This wing is through the rear deck so you have to take off the rear fascia to install it... Woodhouse did it for me but it is a DIY for most. I'll try to post a pic below to show you *** it looks with the fascia off.

I have the Sparco 2000 seats but you may want to check around on that.
I will check into the anti-toe bracket.

I thought you had Tom's 38mm rears Chuck?

 

[GuitarSteve]

That is a real sharp colour combo for that car. I am suprised they didn't offer it originally in 1997 or 1998. Could someone photochop this car without the front splitter and the gold rims from a gold package car?

wow... that does look pretty bad ass. Nice! Get some video footage!

# 34 has Tom's upgrade.
My RT/10 is still stock.

I was thinking about going with the Tom's upgrade, but was wondering if the Gen III brakes on front and transferring the front brakes to the rear was enough of an improvement to justify the cost?
