The Cart Before the Horse: Spec 3 Build

[Senor_Taylor]

Good news: I got the car today

Bad News: Simon lost the title so I'm waiting for him to get the replacement

Good news: The car runs very well

Bad news: It needs ball joints to pass inspection

That said, I have been reckless with my credit card and ordered the following:

- Front suspension refresh (Control arms, CABs, tie rods, sway bar endlinks). This will go along with the Shocks, springs, and M3 top hats I have.
- Front Shock tower reinforcement plates
- Hardware to mount my Front Subframe X Brace
- Rear shock mounts and reinforcement plates. These go along with the rear shocks, springs, and trailing arm bushings and ball joints. (Only thing that leaves for the rear is Subframe and Diff bushings, along with reinforcements, which I may pay a shop to do since they'll need to be welded.)
- 2 sets of Rotors from FCPEuro, so I should be set for life


So, I figure I'll do all of that at the same time before I get the car inspected. I'm installing the roll bar now as well. After it passes inspection I'll install my seats and harnesses.

What's left to buy:
Wheel, Hub, Quick release Hub
Brake pads (What should I get? Just go ahead with the Hawk DTC pads?)
Electric Fan
Tires for the Style 32s. 225/50/15s preferably.

Is there anything else I need to get and install before hitting the track in March? I don't know if I'll get the Subframe and Diff bushings done before then. Man... this is so much. So much to remember. I know I'm going to forget something.
