Picked this up earlier today (well...yesterday now):

Has a number of mods on it already including lowering springs, 18" wheels (running 225-wide tires), full aftermarket exhaust, CAI, oversized throttle body, intake spacers, oil catch can, ECU reflash, also has a set of snow wheels + tires but I intend to keep it away from road salt as much as possible.

First mods will be an oil pan baffle + high-flow pickup + cooler, camber plates and bolts for the front, some shifter fixes and mods as the shifting feels rather questionable but the problem was being masked by the tallboi shifter the PO was using (feels like it's centering left of the proper center position and the amount of force needed to get toward 5th or 6th feels like it's going to injure me), track-worthy brake fluid + pads + brake vent system. I'll add a Rides entry in the next couple days.

Nice; following with interest! The twins are really catching on around here lately.

More build threads the better.  I will always accept more advice.

Remove the CAI and go stock, the oversized TB also showed no gains.

No need to mess with the pan baffle unless you plan on tracking it with aero and RComps.

But definitely do the oil cooler. The Greddy is widely considered to be the best.

This isn't helping my resolve to stay out of debt.

I was at at a Solo 1 last weekend and next to Corvettes, there were more twins there than any other model.

Yeah I moved to Ontario right after the Challenge in 2019.
