TB993tt

Will there be any bias balance issues by having those whoppers on the front and the stockers on the back ?

Jussi

That's what I have to find out.

btw. You have that Carrera GT, what do you think about that Gemballa's "MIRAGE GT BLACK EDITION" version? Would it be cool to do? At least if I were you, my car would be there already

Please keep us posted, I'm very interested
I had a good look around that CGT at Essen show last year. Personally I thought it looked dreadful and completely ruined the CGT's looks

For me this look CGT is for people who have so much money that they just HAVE to have something different to their friends and neighbours CGTs and they don't care either about cost or what it turns out looking like as long as it looks like they have spent the $$$$$$$$$$$ on it !

On a technical basis Porsche spent so much time getting the aerodynamics on the CGT to work in order to make the car safe at its 200+mph top speed that allowing Gemballa to ruin all that hard work is pure sacriledge IMO.....

There was also a Techart GT Street at Essen with that matt black look, didn't like that either

Has anyone here tried the Brembo 6 piston with 350mm discs like the ones Cargaphic and FVD sell?
I am about to pull the trigger on a set but only out of convenience and rush as I have an event on May 1st.

These ceramic kits look amazing BTW

Jussi

Jean, can you estimate what that -2.5kg and -2.5kg do for acceleration?

Jean

Jussi

It will take some time to calculate. I can give it a shot if I get some free time (from browsing this forum )

Jussi

Yes I understand, I know what you mean
btw, that 2.5+2.5 is actually 4.5+4.5 when counting also those lightweight Volks..

Jean,

How did you go with the BRAKE upgrade?

I have not made up my mind yet. I am exploring the Brembo GTR option, the AP racing option, your option, and the GT3 caliper / 997TT disc option, difficult to make a choice and very little data out there as to what is best. Did you notice any difference in lap times that can be directly attributed to braking?

I really like the current Brembo GTR setup on my 996TT. Lighter and more bite than the PCCB and AP racing set up I had on my GT2 . Great for the street with very little squealings and dust. I have been speaking with Race Technologies about custom making a set for my 993TT as well.

Jean,

Yes - Most definantly.

Lap times are down - depending on track length - and I have not changed settings and the weekend just gone - I posted a PB - by more than 1 sec - on OLD tyres.....

This says also nothing about the increased confidence as well - I am still very mindful of where the fnish line is.... (my Garage )

I am no longer EATING through rotors and pad life is also extended - but with faster times comes more tyre wear !

If you want specifics - PM me and I will give you some data points.

Simon.

Vincent, that looks really nice, you have 350mm there I guess, good to know they are not a hindrance on the street, I was worried about dust and noise. Brembo can deliver a set within a couple of days for my 993TT so I guess they have all they need.

Simon, that's good to know, the Cup setup in particular has been very highly recommended to me by people in the know. Season is over now (43deg C today but going for a few test laps at the track in an hour), so I have more time to think about this. I am definitely interested in data if you have some. Thanks.
