brand new in from Germany... 996TT/996 GT3 Mk1 brake calipers.

My 951 is going to need these next summer!!

Joseph Imports

Are they going to be put on your 951?

aeronautica86

whats the advantage of these over the big reds? lighter weight? are they more difficult to fit? anyway, they look sweet, enjoy!

Is the sensor harness a direct fit or some mods needed.

So, who's gonna be the first to try PCCB rotors?

Actually I've been looking into it, By Design in California said it "could" be done, however very intensive to get them to bolt up. So after my motor is done, and body complete, the $ 13,000 brakes will get some attention. Now that's gonna be fun, I'm looking at before the end of 2006. Don't worry everyone will know when I do this.

That's lots of talk, just wondering Guns, how much of the stuff in your sig do you actually have in your possession? I only ask because judging by the link in your sig, it doesnt look like you've bought most what's in your sig.

Duke,here's mine with intial fitment experiment...to see if they fit with 17" wheels....
Discs are also from GT3 ( 330 x 34mm F &330x28mm R ).There will not be any major fitment issues,you just have to use adapters at both ends and invent some solution to rear axle,if you use GT3 discs and want a hand brake.

MPD47 - Well seeing as how I'm in Afghanistan, and updating webpages is one of the lowest of my priorities...I have everything, but getting the stuff installed from over here is tough. I have a half assembled body, due to broadfoot dragging behind a bit as usual with shipping - but the finishing touches on the way. Sport Designs are in the link (which will be replaced with 542R HRE's when I get the body done and figure out the custom fitments). The brakes are in the site as well - I just haven't uploaded caliper pics due to the fact I have to virtually kick the paint shop in the *** to get the PORSCHE letters painted black - cuz striaght up all yellow isn't what I had in mind. AND...there is a correction as I was told previously the brakes were S4...and I was just informed they are not so sorry for the misleading info. And I'm working on finding a shop in the houston area that can make a roll cage to go through my holes in the dash behind the ac vents (not throught them).

Pics should be up in the 951 pictures thread in a few weeks or as soon as broadfoot can get the rest of my $hit to my shop. And yes I have leather GT3 seats....ask the rennlist member I bought them from out of his 996. Any more questions? Don't mean to sound rude, and I actually appreciate the call out - btw I love what you did with your fog/driving lights - that's why I got the broadfoot nose. I plan on making custom housings for driving lights and doing a VERRRRY custom hood/header panel - but that will have to wait until I can come home and do the plugs and molds myself, (one of those inspired artist things a la 968 hood vent, incorporate the header panel into the hood and delete head lights.)

I have the financial resources to do pretty much anything I want...so anything that sounds crazy or unusual I'll probably do. I haven't gotten into the motor yet as I don't know what route I want to go...ie a wicked 2.5 or a 3.0 both would probably have vitesse stuff anyway. SO thanks for the call out and I'd love to get details on your headlight project. and I'll be sure to PM you pics before anyone else cuz you had the ***** to call bull**** happy motoring bro.

MPD47

I wasnt trying to be an ***, and I appriciate you putting me in my place. It just sounded like "ALOT" of talk. Stay safe over there.

Oh yeah, thanks for the compliment on the lights, I like em too

Gustaf, are those from German Ebay?? If so, i suppose i lost that auction to you

My plan is similar as Pete have done, just have to win some auction....

Not to hijack the thread but just so you know (ATTENTION EVERYONE!): The list needs more people who are willing to burst the bubble some of these people live in. A lot of the guys who do the expensive and heavily modded cars need more respect for their projects - especially ones who do "outside the box" projects like your headlights. Anyone who has high claims should expect to be called out - in fact it makes me proud of my aquisitions as they are not the common "stage" mods. I wasn't meaning to be rude - I had a lot of respect for you & your mods before you called me out - and even more afterwards for the respectful and dignified way you handled my response, which looking back had a bit of a "tone" to it. *sorry*

Duke

You fought well young Skywalker

I'm still looking for a good source for the brake discs, Pete where did you get yours?
