I thought you might have some suggestions for tuning:

I have the X73 chassis kit plus GT3 front lower arms and paddle shift steering wheel from FVD. CG put the whole thing together and the car drives like a cross between a 997C2S and a GT3I think. Lots of front grip and feel. Quite a lively but controllable tail.

I want more umphhh though. Any one got the Ruf R turbo 485 PS kit - what's it like? Any good substitutes from UK people ?

Also, has anyone tried 235s on the front ?

I have the stage 2 DMS conversion running what seems like a genuine 550bhp, which delivers 'adequate' performance for now (191mph at VMax) from an X50. I understand it was quite a cost effective upgrade, but I bought the car modified already.
