Track Tools
Shopping for track tools (need the break-in miles really). I have everything for the M3 platform, however, I already see my torque wrench won't work. What are the essentials for the GT3, and where is the best place in OC to purchase?

You need Texas oil money to afford that Snap On torque wrench
Most of us do fine with this one: http://www.tooltopia.com/precision-i...s-c4d600f.aspx
You'll also want a brake pedal depressor unless you can always count on someone to stand on your brake pedal while you mount/dismount wheels.
And you'll probably want an alignment guide if you're running PCCBs: http://www.3rauto.com/parts/3r_parts/

Sorry, don't have one. Don't need em on the Cup; just fire away with the air gun
I'm sure others who use them can chime in or you can ask over on the 997 GT3 forum. I've seen all kinds used from truck brake depressors to large wood clamps from Home Depot (like this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-24...3186/204988147).
Total PITA if you ask me but not much you can do if you're on your own.

This was the compressor I used and still have.

Don't forget a bunch of rubber gloves - that grease stuff is nasty. And then some hand cleaner to get it off.
Wouldn't hurt to have another vehicle - need a way home if a wheel falls off. (or was that just the last generation?)

Is a 5-lug conversion possible for the 991 GT3s?
