Default GT3 Information Book

I just ordered this book:

http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...newproductpage

It looks interesting. Just wondering if anyone has seen it and if it is useful.

I have a similar Technik Introduction for the 2009 997.2 in PDF format that I got hold of from somewhere several years ago; can't remember now where. Anyway, I found it to be very useful. It has lots of specs, cutaway drawings, explanation of various systems and features from engine to suspension to interior stuff to lighting and much more. The answers to lots of questions that come up on the forum could be found in there. If the 991GT3 book is anything like it would be worth having, IMO.

Cool. Additional information on all of the new tech stuff will be appreciated. Of note, the example page topic appears to be about the paddle neutral function of the PDK-S. 124 pages of juicy details! Now we just need our engines!

I just got the "Service Information 2014 Technik Introduction" booklets for both the GT3 and the Turbo/Turbo S from Suncoast. Very informative booklets and well worth the money.

IMO only limited info here Im afraid. Here were the very few things I learnt or found of interest from the book...its not a technical book as one might imagine but more of a dealer sales manual....

Or call Suncoast. In the beginning, when the clear LED side markers were out of stock, I called and was able to get a set. Granted, I have them...but no car!!!

@Macca, see Mike's post above. I think it sums up the type of info in the booklet. Granted, it's not a workshop manual or anything like that, but it has more detail than an owner's manual, and the specs, drawings, etc. are interesting from a design intent standpoint.

Beats reading about compensation, Camaros, coolant fitting blowouts, lemon laws, etc.
