I'm giving serious consideration to converting my 2004 986S to a full-on track car. I consider it a dedicated track car now as it is not practical to drive on the street anymore, but I am talking about stripping it of all unneeded items to reduce weight, install a full roll cage, fuel safe fuel cell, etc. I would probably build to SCCA specs so it can be raced.

There are several items I would want to eliminate that are ECU controlled or monitored such as:

* PSM (but maybe not ABS)

* the catalytic converters

* alarms, radio, airbags

and probably many other things I haven't thought of.

I can get a PST2 laptop clone for, say $1500 or so. I am wonderng if the PST2 will allow me to reprogram the existing unit to ignore these things, or if I would be better off, cost wise and from an elegance of solution perspective, to go with a completely different ECU package, such as Motec or something.

Thoughts?
