I was in Paris today and spoke with à Porsche manager. They Will send me someone to analyse the failure... I give you all the details.
Waiting this, does someone could contact me by email for the 5 lubs conversion?

Can you tell us how many track miles your car had at the time of the failure? And what type of tires you use on track?
Thanks

Hey guys, for those of you who have done the conversion first hand and know your stuff, can someone put together an email with the part numbers of bearings, hubs etc and email it to Franck so he can get it under way considering english is his 2nd language and he may not be confident to do it off the thread himself... Cheers...

Hi everybody,
First i want to thank you, this forum is really great, and the people specialy sympathic... I have receive the list of the parts for the conversion.
About the failure, my car have 15 000 miles, and have done around 12 track days without any problems ( no one exit from track ).
My real preocupation (It's the reason why i want to convert 5 lugs), Porsche doesn't say something else than "non oem rims"... Or i think that is not the origin of the failure, so i'm afraid. But excepted that the car is great !

Since you have had a bad experience with CLs and now you are forced to do a hub purchace and R&R......it is best to do the 5-Lug (Doug-lug...D-Lug conversion) now.
Post your photos if you do! Or get myself or savyboy or 911slow to help you.
Best of luck!!!

PS. Thanks John......you da man!

The irony is that Porsche broke every single one of their commandments 2 years ago in the NBRG 24 hour when they showed us how great these gen 2 cars are with their RS entry... They ran aftermarket BBS wheels in 18s with slicks, they rattled wheels on and off and did F%k all greasing procedures and got by just fine... Its not that their system is tragically flawed but they are looking for excuses to dodge repairs as these failures result in significant body damage... Shame on them! :/
