buy my bride zeta II, it will give you bling plus zing
I've got a partial sponsorship with Bride if I take the time to fill out the papers, so I can get a darn good deal.
I just dunno if AP2 tranny is worth the time/effort. $1k for the tranny. I can install

Dude! Get an ASM strut bar!!! Not only does it provide insane chassis rigidity, but it bling blingin' too! ASM uses it on their 57 second record setting Tsukuba car, need I say more!?

if you are speaking of diff gears
you can but them from motorklasse and have them installed by a local shop and it will be be very reasonable.
$398 for 4.77
$378 for 4.44
then if you uninstall you pumpkin and get them installed it will be around $600

If I do gears I'm replacing everything, cusco LSD and reinforced housing, I'm steering clear of tearing the pumpkin down, unless of course it explodes lol.

Hey Eric, since I know you I can say this without feeling like a dick ....... why don't you come to the track with me before you waste any more money

You don't need/nor will you want a cusco LSD soley for street driving. A bride seat is a worthless show piece, not even FIA approved. Get your tune straightened out and then hit up the track..... you won't regret it!

$300 for one day is way too much for me to drop just for shits and giggles, and they dont even time your laps, no reach around or anything, sounds like your getting screwed to me...How can you improve your driving if you have no concept of time? Theres been many times in autocross when you said, that felt fast but it was really slower than your last lap. I'd love to track my car but its just not worth it if you ask me, I would be more likely to do it if time were involved. You cant pass in turns, its like your just drag racing, if a car is slow in the turns but fast in the straight that ruins all the fun for you. I would much rather mod my car than go to a track day, its the way I've always been and I guess always will be. I mod with the track in mind so where to draw the line is the biggest question. Its taken me 3 months just to save up for getting my car tuned, so $300 for a day is not in my league, I'll just continue to rule 68 Trackdays are such a rip in the US sigh.....

oh yeah and for the record the Zeta III is:
BRIDE is dedicated to the pursuit of combining comfort and safety into a sport seat designed for circuit racing. Using cutting edge technology, every sport seat is subjected to various crash tests to conform to the Japanese safety standard of circuit racing: F.I.A. Official Homologation. As a result, BRIDE seats have become a number one pick for motorsport enthusiasts, and are used in many professional race cars around the world.
You are correct, the Zeta III is the only Bride seat that I know of that is FIA approved. Are there others? The Zeta II that I was referring to is not FIA approved though.

I really want to make fun of you, but I'm going to resist the urge until I see you next
