The 102 has been 6.95 for the last few years.
Jake will build them to run off pump fuel as well.
I think this one is built off a M97 block.
There wasn't much left from my last kerblammo.
That one was a X51 upgrade on a 3.6 upgraded to 3.8 by Jake after the original crank broke in half.
I do run a 5,2,2 ECU with a variocam plus engine. RPM window switches power the solenoids for Vcam full on or off.

Also curious if you bought your silver 996 locally.

Currently, for PCA, my car is classed as GTB1 but once it gets the 3.8 it will no longer qualify. I'm pretty much committing to COMMA or NASA at that point. Unless I swap engines with my daily just to run PCA for a year.
Yes, I got the silver one from a guy in Norman named Marty. He had owned it for a year.
Last HST of the year at Hallet this weekend. You should come join us!

Oddly enough I can get 110 for about the same as 101 around here, just over $7.

Yes, GT2 in COMMA. If it's a white 70 something M3 driven by a kid named Ryan then it won the class again this year.

I had a silver 996 identical to yours that I sold 3 years ago and really regret it. Wondering if yours is the same car. Does it have 6sp, grey interior, and aftermarket HIDs from https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...and-986-a.html
Love your new track car! Envious

Had a good final weekend at the track. Ended up with 21 days on track including two racing schools, two days with a personal coach and 4 races.
Saturday I was with my coach and the front pads were shot by after lunch. I went to put my spare pads on that I had purchased from a Rennlister and they were way to big.
I own the fact that I should have verified they were the right size.
So that day was done and I showed up with my original set of EBC Ref Stuff. My initial impression was they weren't very good for the track but it was on my very first track day so hopefully I was wrong. JayG loves them so I was crossing my fingers. Well, they were crap. I was trying to shove my foot through the floor and they still didn't have enough bite to get to the ABS with slicks on.
However, it was one of the best things that's happened to me. Without ABS the weekend before, I had learned if you aren't stopping, turn in anyway. And just try and manage the rear end the best you can. So first session I took it easy to try and bed them in and then second session I went for it.
I moved my braking points back quite a bit but was still coming into the corners really hot. So I just kept the brake pedal mashed to the floor through the turn until it was time to get on the throttle. The first full lap of doing this dropped over a second off my personal best time. I was able to reproduce it a few other times during the day, mainly when chasing a C6 Z06. So it gives me something to look forward to next year and puts me only 3 seconds off pace with the class leaders. I think the FSI upgrade will get me another second and that dialing in the setup and improving my driving will put me in a good position to compete next year.
