Besides the "track-day sump/baffle", "solid/braided brake lines", "pedal position mods", and "drivers seat mods", what if any other Non-Standard Factory Fitted Options are there? Thanks for your help...Just trying to get the facts straight!

Are there driver's seat mods? Only seat mod I've heard of so far was for the passenger seat (allowing it to slide forward more than standard).

Thanks,
Marc

a/c is a factory option here but maybe not in the US? As for non-factory fitments: a lot of owners get Armorfend protection to the lower areas and some go for tinted windows should you want the pimpobile look!

If its a new car, I assume the brake and pedal position mods would be done. I was under the impression it was only a retrofit mod on old cars.

You have however missed LSD off that list and thats an option not standard fit I think? (I lose track as these things change so often!)

LSD comes combined with the, now standard, 6-speed Getrag? gearbox. I think the brake mods (pedal move and solid pipes) are an option and not standard.

Simon, when you say steel brake lines you mean copper, right?

I think Simon meant the stainless steel braided flexible lines as opposed to rubber flexible lines.


I don't think so Matt; I believe that the standard configuration is rubber piping with a braided exterior throughout and the upgrade is copper piping running from front to back to be picked up at the hubs where the flexible piping takes over. Happy to stand corrected by the factory, as always!

My apologies! The upgraded brake lines are made from copper nickel.

I heard a suggestion during the Rockingham track day that the upgraded brake setup was to become standard on the 3R, like the 6-speed and LSD. Is that true ?

The upgraded system will remain an option for the forseeable future.
