Anyone recommend a 991 steering wheel similar to the 1989 930 wheel. Thicker, slightly smaller and perfectly round (no thumb rests)

Tial inlets and titanium exhaust tips. The tips were a little bit of research but totally worth while.

Default Switching Brake Fluid Brands

Giving Endless RF650 a try after over a decade of SRF.

Bought a case for a full PIWIS ABS flush.

I hear good things about RF-650, and I love Endless ME20 and N35S pads. After 21 years of using SRF and still yet to boil it, I just can’t use anything else or see any reason to switch.

Let me know what you think.

I have had a few track guys both pro and amateur tell me they love this fluid over SRF for the pedal feel. So I decided to see if there is anything to it. I read a few articles and tests on the fluid compressibility of racing brake fluids and RF650 was at the top of the list.

I can't boil either one of them but if I get 5% better pedal feel or a stiffer pedal I'll be happy.

I switched from SRF to Endless a couple years ago for the same reasons, and that the cup/race cars supposedly come with Endless from the factory. The pedal seems a little stiffer, but not a big difference. I do about 15 track days a year, and flush with 3 cans yearly, no bleeding. No problems!

New DV’s. Factory ones were leaking and making a whistle sound under partial throttle, no driveability issues or codes thrown. All fixed and car is running great.

Brembo Type III rotors make the biggest difference to pedal feel. Every Pro that gets out of my car says the same two things. 1. That’s the best pedal feel of all the cars out here.

and 2. Jesus Christ that thing goes 🤣

I’m really interested to see if the new GT-R setup being a lot stiffer and having vented titanium pistons will feel better.

I doubt day to day will be much different than the current GTS, but I think at top speed 300km/hr type braking there should be a stabilised difference.

Striped Shifter base plate swapped into my Carrera S. A very subtle sporty mod... mostly because I found this GT3 shifter baseplate on Ebay for $40.00.


Starting to dissasemble. Replacement stripes on the bottom right .

Put the stripes in my baseplate (left - Carrera) and swapped my old one into the GT3 baseplate.

Finished in the car.
