Excellent -- have fun! Which track, and what kind of coilovers?

I installed a JCW alcantara wheel on my GP this week and am definitely diggin' it. Should have come as standard on the car, along with the Recaros that came on Euro-spec GPs.

Oops, sorry for the late response! I have Bilstein pss9's on it and the track is Firebird Raceway in Phoenix.

Pics of your GP please.

Now that is awesome...I had a Momo on my long gone Alfa GTV6. Is it a hard mod to fit? I guess you lose radio and the other wheel controls. What did you do with them? Finally what is the cost?

momo

yes, you lose the radio controls, as well as the auto turn signal cancel and i did not hook up a horn kit either. as for the radio, well, that and the speakers were ditched. in its place is the controller for the meth injection and the remote for a V1 radar detector.

here's a close shot of the momo seats. i got the wheel and the seats late last fall in a fire sale on momo's site.....if i remember right, it was less than $700.

I'm aiming to arrange a GP photoshoot in the spring of next year. How many of you still have your GP's in Colorado?

Would love to be part of a photo shoot! We've got 2006 JCW GP 1207 tucked away in our garage in Greenwood Village - an absolutely awesome little car!
