I got one of our mechanics to drive the GT today to get a little input on how it is right now. Right now the list of things that came up as "broken" were:
1 transmission mount
2 motor mounts
Transmission bearing whine
Leaking rear main seal
Leaking front crank shaft
Leaking rear end
Fuel pump
Coil pack
Front brakes
but in the spirit of drifting, I'm going to waste all my money on the suspension first. Coilovers soon.
By the way, Seafoam is overrated. I've not got anything else to add really, since the drift day was cancelled thanks to rain.

Parts
So, to put a little insight into what I have in the car right now, I'll first say that my parents were not too happy about me sliding a car sideways. So my mods are based on safety first, which is fine.
As of now, the car has:
Sparco Pro 2000 seats
Sparco harnesses
6 point roll cage
Steeda short throw shifter
Weight reduction
FRPP Adjustable E-brake cable
16 inch Bulletts
Which is a fairly small list. Money, eh? But I'll list my parts as I can slowly afford them. For now, the car drifts, which is the most important thing.

Oops...
If you're going to install an aftermarket shifter, make sure the handle is attached to the rest of the unit securely. If not you'll find yourself tearing apart the center console at a traffic light trying to put it back together.
Drift day next Saturday. Much win in the near future.
