Oh boy, does CUDA have a nice new track toy! I may have missed it, does it have an upgraded trans cooler? Paddles sometime in the future? There doesn’t appear you have much of anything to do except swap to track wheels and throw numbers on. Wowzers.

Yep, has upgraded PDK cooler. Interesting that you asked about this. I don't think it's a super common upgrade. Dedicated switch for it. I think I will keep the shift buttons, but will train myself to use left for downshifts and right for upshifts, since my other PDK cars have paddles and that will be more familiar.

Brand new tires, rotors, brakes, harnesses, oil, battery, etc. As you say, all set to go! Numbers have arrived. Center stripe was too short, so had to reorder. Ordered windshield sunshade today.

It's the name of my business. Chose it as sort of a joke. While working on my M.S. in Marine Biology I did some research on Tridacna, the genus for giant clams.
