Mostly agree with everything above.
1. Get a 34 row oil cooler. You'll than me later. I have the Z1. FI makes a 34 cooler too.
2. I run the Carbotech 10/8 combo. Started with Yellowstuff pads until my skill level improved.
3. Brake cooling. I'm using the Nismo RC ducts with a Stillen duct kit. Also using Ti heat shields between the pads and pistons.
4. I got one of the first RRP's from phunk. Money well spent!
5. If you get a manual. Wrap insulation around the clutch line down by the exhaust pipe, under the car. Flush the fluid out and use a good brake fluid. The same stuff as for your brakes when you do them.
6. And read the Sticky Thread.
7. Now go and have fun!
