Hi

I had a 2002 996 turbo that I loved - except I felt that it was a little heavy and just not quite right for track duty. Then this 2010 GT3 comes along - I've only driven it a few days but love it. Can't wait to get it on the track.

Which brings me to my point, what track mods would be good to do that won't kill the factory/cpo warranty? It'll be seeing about 80/20 track/street duty. Thanks.

CS bar
Schroth seat belts
Bolster and head rest protecors
Studs in calipers
LSD
CUP lip and Gurney Flap
Rear tie rods
set of track wheels, or 2 perhaps.
Tow hook
Torque wrench, can opener and Castrol grease
Data recorder/video
PFC front rotors, PFC08 pads.

That should get you started

See Savyboy's post.
Great seller, we all know where he hides..

Thanks for the info. I have a lot of those, looks like I'll have to add to the shopping list though. One question, what is a CS bar, and the "studs in the calipers"?

TRAKCAR

Club Sport bar that is oem in ROW (Rest Of World) cars.
CUP cars dont have bolts going into the uprights to keep the calipers on but studs and nuts instead.
Saves you from stripping out and expensive aluminum upright, as each rear brake pad change requires the rear caliper needs to come off. While you are at it change the fronts just to be safe.

Peter, where do you get the studs and bolts for the calipers? Sound like a nice precaution even for a car like mine?

Northshore04

I didn't know that about the bolts. Thanks for the info.

insite

wow; wish i'd thought of that before i stripped out THREE of them.

TRAKCAR

Yes, you can fix that with Timeserts as well, but I preferred to put the studs in when the car was new before I mess up the thread.

In my last car, the rear caliper came loose and I had to buy a new upright. No fun.

Orbit put them in when the car was new. I only know they are not the same dimensions as the CUP studs, you just have measure how long the nedd to be I guess. Same thread as on the bolts.

I just need to take my car to Orbit.

1-drive to Orbit
2- take iPad to work remote while I wait for car
3- have Orbit install caliper bolts
4- have Orbit install better sway bars
5- drive home happy

TRAKCAR

1-drive to Orbit on Wednesday AM, make sure Rodger invites you to go test the car 6-10PM same day.
2-drink lot's of beer with Peter and drive home early next morning.

You forgot LSD, CUP lip, Piston clips to keep puck from falling out..

I am taking my car to Orbit on the 28th in the morning for a PFC pad install. I'll ask Roger about the studs then too. Good idea.

Stu

tcsracing1

GT2 Seats and harnesses to hold you in the corners and when on the brakes.
tequipment or GMG roll bar to hold the harnesses.
Pagid pads and SRF brake fluid to keep the brakes working on the track.

Rear toe links to hold a proper corner balance and alignment.

Sharkwerks center muffler delete to save weight
good tires for stick factor

and a Guard Limited slip differential to keep both tires spinning.

Done

if one changes the brake pads alot then studs in the calipers is a great modification.

The CUP car has the same feature.

The stock set up strips out with time.
