Did some more testing improve another 2 sec
To 1.52.5 as compare the 996 cup car run between1.50 to-1.52ish at same track
I still have problem on the brake bias , will replace the caliper at this off season
Love my endless brake pad very strong bite !!
Think to upgrade to endless 2 peace rotor too

Nice! 
You may want to consider a transmission brace. The shift **** is moving around quite a bit as the drivetrain gets loaded and unloads. That should make shifting easier, decrease chance of mis-shifts and decrease the chance of hurting the internals.
Maybe some poly engine and diff mounts too - if you don't already have them.

The car was ST-3 endurance car from Japan
Which is pretty much stock, so my plan get the best lap time as this set up
Now I clock 1.52 , which I think is good enough for some up grade now
So during this off season I will up grade most my busing to solid one
Careful about what material you make the "solid" bushings from. If you make them out of metal for example, that could cause a lot of vibration to be transmitted through the mechanicals and loosen every nut and bolt on the engine and other parts.
