Sorry for the late response, for some reasons we didn't get a notification of your post.
The car is dialed in with the RWS. It works good in lower speed turns(at or under 50mph) with no hindrance to higher speed turns.

Can you share your setup with the steering wheel?

I have a cup steering wheel also without paddles. wanted to know where to get that and how to hook it up.

It is a factory GT4 Clubsport steering wheel. We can install and set it up for you.

The SJS Motorsports #308 Porsche 991 GT3 Clubsport prepared by TPC Racing will be racing into the night at the AER (American Endurance Racing) 2020 season finale at NJMP this coming weekend. Drivers Trevor Andrusko and Scott Schmidt are charging strong into the final with a 2nd place foothold in the team championship. The drivers and the #308 have been stellar all year. The DSC Sport suspension, PFC Cup Challenge Brake Kit, and the Porsche G-engine have been flawless. The following mods will surely help to improve the team's position in the finale!

Mod #1: GT3 Cup 100 Litre fuel cell with Dry-Break Quick-Filling.


Swapping out the factory 90 Litre extended range fuel tank. The extra 10 Litre (2.64 gallons) capacity of the Cup fuel cell will make for fewer fuel stops during the 8-hour races.


The standard fill cap will be converted to Dry-Break Quick-Fill.





Mod #2: GT3 Cup dual-master cylinder conversion to adjust for the OEM street car electronic rear pressure manipulation.







Mod #3: Battery relocation to passenger floor for fuel cell clearance, safety, and for better weight placement.





Mod #4: Extra lighting for night racing.





For more race info and race results go to www.americanenduranceracing.com and follow Race Car Driver Trevor Andrusko on his youtube channel for in-car race videos.

Since I am in CA, i am not sure how to bring the car to you....

Can I get the paddles alone without the steering wheel? or does it come together?

People send us cars all the time from different states, sometimes from other countries...but usually for more than just a steering wheel install.

The paddles should be available separately from Porsche Motorsport North America. Even if it isn't who cares, buy the whole thing... I think your best option is to find a race car shop near you that has a PMNA account to order the item that you want.

Understood. I presume the GT4 Cup car has a PDK rather than sequential transmission?

I just noticed that the PCM is still installed. That’s awesome! Some tunes for all the wins.

The early builds had canards on the car and now in the latest pictures they are gone. Cup bumper & splitter are enough to balance the aero on the car with the bigger wing?

Tom, is there a reason you guys decided to put the large LED bar on the hood rather than the PMNA 24hr light kit that mounts behind the bumper cover?

The LED bar is much more agreeable with the budget for this race.

We started the season testing at Sebring and had the first race at Road Atlanta where the car was very balanced and fast. During mid-season races at the shorter length tracks we up'ed the spring rates to increase mechanical grip. The mechanical grip is so hooked up now that additional front aero grip is no longer needed.

Yep. The fleet of Cup cars we race have no front dive planes.

thats what i thought you were going to say, but i had to ask, because other places in this build budget was not a top priority (or so it seems). kind of like the 100L tank... i was unaware they were not completing the races on the 5 mandatory stops. were they having to take a 6th splash?

She drinks more than 5 tanks in a dry race.

Tom, have you had any of your builds have issues with heating issues between the engine and PDK, we seem to have issues in the west with our desert tracks?

Thanks, Mike
