[QUOTE="clinton2003, post: 16385862, member: 144769"] Recon mostly hit it, but figured i'd put in my $0.02 The RS3 (Roush Stage 3) is a Stock GT with body kit (Stage 1), suspension upgrades (Stage 2), and a blower installed (Stage 3). Unless it was custom done by Roush it wont have any other upgrades. Safety upgrades include but not limited to, Oil Pump Gears, Crank Timing Sprocket, ATI Balancer. Fuel system (not just a BAP) is required for Reliability IMO, as BAP's can take out fuel pumps rather quickly. To be the SAFEST, just get a custom tune on what comes stock, and drive it. Stock clutch will hold out for a while, but if/when you need to get a new one make sure you get a sprung hub clutch. It will limit the harsh vibrations being transferred from the engine to the trans, increasing its life. MT-82 is inherently flawed. Shift forks are weak, plastic fork pads, etc... If you ever have issues with it, send it off to Ben Calimer and get his Stage 1 build, and go back to enjoying your car. Word of advice. There is a point where lots (including myself) wish they never passed. I have gone past the point of no return on my car. Basic power adder and drive it is where i should have stopped, not saying I totally regret how far I've gone, but do miss the ease of jumping in and not having to worry about anything :) [/QUOTE]
