Great car, can't wait to see it out there with the rest of the GTC troop. One suggestion would be to find a better placement for your AMB lap timer since it is directly in your line of sights for left hand corners. In the rear engine compartment, you may want to move the fire nozzle to the center under the package tray rather than only on the left side. That will allow the fire suppression material to spray over the entire engine.

My car is comming along, hopefully it is within 1-2 months of being on the track. I was at LRP this past week and weekend and spend 10 sessions in the car with students. I really missed driving.

It also looks like your car has one of the rare pressure switches on the master cylinder that will cut off the ABS under a panic stop situation (allows you to lock the wheels and spin the car).

The "slap switch" on the dash (big red switch) is the manual override to turn the ABS on and off. I actually don't see that so it must have been changed to another type on your car at some point in time. In your car there is also the pressure switch on the master cylinder. It is my understanding that they didn't work well. For the 993s this was upgraded and moved to the front input brake line to the ABS pump itself.

I have an ABS big red "slap switch" which would be correct for your car if you need it.
