Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Yes, I'm still running the Carbon Rotors. I love the feeling of the lighter steering, the replacement cost has a big price tag. I'm trying to research my options for repacement rotors & Pad. Any suggestions?
I did think about the Yellow Seat belts too, but for now I think my next mods will be Tranny Mounts and Engine Mounts and then LCA and Dog Bones. I have the adjustment on the suspension maxed out.
Thanks for the feedback on the DB level. I was a little concerned that Thunderhills is getting more strick.
I know a stock GT3 almost cant pass sound at Laguna Seca so I gave up on that a long time ago.
Maybe before the HOT weather sets in we can do a GT3 Bay Area and Nor Cal Meet and Drive.
Any suggestions on Location?

Congrats on a great purchase!
FYI - If you plan on using the car a fair amount on the street, do not swap out the transmission mounts for stiffer versions. I just had the numeric shifter cables (similar to 996 cup), and stiffer transmission mounts installed. The shifting precision is much improved, however the nvh inside the cabin is pretty bad if regularly driving on the street (and this is from someone that commutes to work in a 964 with straight pipes). The flywheel chatter is amplified about 3 times compared to stock, and the mechanical drivetrain noise just gets reverberates in the cabin as revs increase. I think you can get much improved shifting by just doing the cables alone, and not have the nvh increase as much, since the mounts are likely the biggest culprit in raising the nvh. I'll likely be switching my mounts back to stock.

As far as tranny mounts I have a set from my .1 RS I never used if they will fit and you want them let me know and I'll give you a good price. Their stiffness is between stock and super rigid. Again search threads and can probably find lots on this too.
Beautiful car and congrats

Thanks for the feedback on the mounts. If I'm lucky I may get to 1-2 track days this year. I have a 2yr old boy which fortunatly has the car fever 
and my wife is pregnant and we expceting another baby boy due in July. For the next year or so its probably mostly going to be a Friday/Weekend car.
