That stuff is a long way off. But it depends on what I'm doing. I'd like to play around with a few DOT-R stuff first, like Toyo R888's or the Nitto ones. I would rock Hosiers or the Hankooks for time attack stuff if I ever got around to it, shits way to expensive though and I dont need anything that sticky right now. The next set of tires going on my car are 255 dunlop star spec's on all 4.

I like DSGs build but theres alot of stuff I would of done differently. Mainly engine. My end goal would be the VH45DE (cams/bolt-ons/custom intake set up/tune) with Z32 5spd (ppg gear set possibly), stripped, fully caged lightend, rear trunk area re-done, full under tray, all SPL links, Z33 brakes, 275 slicks all the way around and some other neat things I have in my head.

But after I get my car back on the road and get a few last things done to it, then I'm just going to enjoy the car and save up for a long while so I can do the VH45 swap.

I think I would buy another chassis for a full race set up. I've always planned on building a full on road race car but thats not going to be for a long time.

Thanks jordan.
