John I think I speak for us all when I say that you have an incredible community behind you and supporting you! For all you Rennlisters who may not know, I've known this guy for 25 years and he is truly one of the best. Ok, yes, I am sad that I don't get to work next to him every day anymore as Team Porsche here at Fabspeed But we're all thrilled for you to continue your journey into the depths of the Porsche racing world! When are you putting a 4.0 in the Cayman??

Looking forward to see you you at the track soon!
Erez you better count on me trying to chase you down on Sebring haha. Registered for the Sept. 16th/17th event FYI. Thanks for the kind words my friend, it is always great chatting with you

How I wish this product was out when I had my 2012 GTS with Light Weight Buckets!!!!
That is great to hear, and thanks for chiming in. You should stop by or give us a call, I'd love to meet/chat with some of the existing AQM family!

I'll hold you to that, i'm here every day with the exception of hitting the track or a Cars and Coffee event. You'll have to show me around, I still have no idea where I am lol.

just waiting for 3rd gear to go any day now

Suspension is how you make a driver comfortable to push the car faster, and in our opinion more important than the power aspect. That being said, I'd love to chat with you a bit about the suspension geometry of the GT4, as even with rear toe links and DSC module the underlying problem lies with the strut style rear suspension. We have since resolved that with the MultiLink, and can give you the nitty gritty on that over the phone if you have some time to chat.

However, safety is always the most important factor and if you haven't already I would highly suggest getting yourself a proper roll bar and harnesses, perhaps even a more laterally supportive seat like a RaceTech 4119.

Gavin and Amy had wedding party at Sebring. Enough said!
Oh it's humid enough for me alright, and if I could make it to the "homeland" at some point you better believe i'll take advantage haha.

Wedding party at Sebring...Champions

I appreciate you saying so, I am lucky to be here and beyond thrilled to be a part of the program. I am registered for the September 16th/17th event, be sure to say hello it would be a pleasure to meet you!

Thanks Jason! There is noone better to fill my shoes at Fabspeed than yourself, I don't regret stealing you back from Colorado lol. Don't say that 4.0 swap too loud, John Tecce will hear you and give me a hard time

I've always loved that car, what a nice coincidence that it happened to come from us

Have you ever driven on Sebring? Join our Gavin Riches around the track on a test day in his 997 GT3 Cup equipped with AutoQuest goodies back in 2011.

For those of you that haven't seen it yet, here is the official release of our new 991/981/918 Seat Angle Adjusters for the Carbon Fiber LWBS. Quite a transformation to the seating position and comfort, especially for those on track with a helmet/HANS.

John is great guy. He help me get the best sub belt mounts (Cantrell) for the harness for my new GT3 that is on order. Also he told me about the new seat adjusters for the race buckets. Cant wait to get the seat adjuster installed. Auto Quest has a lot great products that I will be adding to my GT3. Thanks John

Chris thank you very much for the kind words! You are quite the enthusiastic and passionate Porsche owner, and it was a pleasure working with you. I'm very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the 991.2 GT3 (ours should be here shortly as well), and your feedback once our adjusters are installed.

For your reference here is a link to our new Titanium Caliper Piston Pucks that would be relevant to you, and keep an eye out this week for the release of our PCCB alternative
