That's a pretty comprehensive list there guys, especially good comments from Steve there. I'll second Steve's recommendation for Direct Clutch. I was the guinea pig for their 1st GT4 twinplate clutch..had to send up my flywheel and wait a coupla weeks. After 2 years og abuse and a recent big hp turbo upgrade it's just starting to slip, i was hoping it would last longer but it's done far better than anything else so far.

One thing i don't agree on with Steve is the pump mod. Definitely set it to run full time. The heating of the IC fluid by the pump is totally insignificant compared to the heat being transferred from the intake and just general engine bay heat. There are guys in Oz and overseas who have good before and after data on how much ccoler you IC will run if you have the pump running constantly. Also get as much heat shielding on the IC as you can. Make up an alloy shield to sit under the IC and also tape up the bottom and sides with that thermo tec adhesive aluminised tape. After an extended drive you'll find that keeping the IC cooler will really help prevent heat soak and the associated power drop off.

Enjoy the car but don't break anything, GT4's are hell expensive to maintain.
