While it would have been easier to spread upgrades out over the long COVID winter, finances dictated that waiting for some semblance of normalcy to return would be wiser. Needless to say, I am eager beyond words... but here are some words.
My coupe “Siluro”, the Italian torpedo, has the following upgrades completed:
I drive the car as a secondary fun car, pictured below with the A4 daily, and on track days. Yes, I know, it’s a GT, but it’s my fun car so off to the track it goes. Surprisingly, I hold my own pretty well.
Upgrades in the hopper:
Still need to have Lorenzo redo my buttons, and chase down a few other interior electric gremlins in the meantime.
Anyone with experience in the upgrades above that would care to dissuade or encourage a change of priorities, please do weigh in with your experiences. It’s going to be an epic spring, in any case.

Upgrades in the hopper:
- Denso iridium spark plugs - anyone have experience with these?
- Larini X-pipe. Eager to see what this does for high rpm performance and sound
- all LED bulbs. For safety and visibility as Seattle is perpetually grey
- Wheel spacers (FD) for a cheap handling upgrade
- FD ECU upgrade with 100 octane option for track days, because.... power
- coil overs. Still debating between KW and FD. Any inputs? I do have Skyhook presently and would want it disabled, of course.
- tires. Michelin pilot sport to replace the current Falkens
