Default Build Sheet for my SC

I have been looking where to dump some more money into my SC (since I chickened out on buying a turbo)and Hayden at WEVO recommended that I figure out where I wanted to take my mid-life crisis before spending anymore. My car is a garage queen that is hardly driven due to my travel schedule, but when it is I would like it to handle like my former SCCA GT2 car. So let me know what you think and please make recommendations to changes:

1981 911 SC Euro
Front Suspension:
Bilstein revalved- Done
22mm Torsion bars- Done

Elephant Racing Poly/bronze bushings
WEVO Camber King Monoballs & Strut brace
22mm Adjustable Sway bar-Done
Turbo Tie Rods-Done
Steering Rack Bushings-Done


Rear Suspension:
Bilsteins revalved-Done
30mm Torsion Bar-Dones
22mm Adjustable Sway bars-Done

Reinforced sway bar mounts
Sway away adjustable spring plates-Done
Monoballs

Trans:
Rebuild with new syncros
WEVO Shifter & Coupler-Done
WEVO Gate Shift kit
WEVO or equivalent mounts

Brakes:
Turbo or Big reds
Dual adjustable Master Cylinders (FABCAR type)

Suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

Thom

Drive the piss out of her the way the rest of would love to!! Seriously, that is a great set up that I would love to have the $$ for but don't. BTW, what have you done to lighten her?? (Look to Colin Chapman for great handling)

You might want to check out the Rennline monoballs and front strut brace -- same deal as the Wevo stuff but much cheaper. It's what I have in my car.

Sounds like you have most of the nice suspension do-dads. I hear the rear sway reinforcements are a must have, as they breeak a lot. I think Tony Kelly told me this, and was speaking from personal experience.

Once the suspension was done, if I were to address anything mechanically, it'd be the crappy shifting transmission, which it looks like you're doing.

The adding lightness is a great suggestion as well. Lighter battery, lighter seats, remove sound deading, etc. You could probably loose a several hundred lbs from a street SC and still be streetable. You still have A/C?

If you still have a lot of money to spend, big brakes are always nice and look good, too.

After that you're pretty much left with engine, and that starts getting really pricey.
