Default Useful items for racers -- Brake Tool, seatbelt buckle & more

Listers,

TraqJunk.com is manufacturing/selling items for racers, DE-ers, etc.

Treat yourself and get the benefits that these products offer.
  • Brake Tool for Brembo brakes. If you've ever changed pads on cars with these brakes, including 996/7 GT3, Turbos, V8 Cayenne and others, you know how difficult/unpleasant it is to remove the retaining pin. With this tool, the process becomes VERY easy and quick. You change pads a lot during the season -- wouldn't you like to speed up the effort? $49.95 Users love it!
  • Seatbelt buckle. This gadget goes into the stock seatbelt latch and turns off the alarm/buzzer for when you're on the track. $24.95
  • Brake Pad Spreader. An essential tool for removal of brake pads. Without a spreader it is very difficult to open up the pistons and remove the pads. $39.95
  • Traqmate carry box. This is a rugged, padded box with custom compartments designed to keep your expensive Traqmate safe as you go to and from the track. $49.95

Go to http://TraqJunk.com for more information/photos and to order.

Default GT3 Brake Tool, TraqMate Carry box - NEW LOWER PRICES

Listers,

We have lowered prices on our 996 GT3 Brake Tool and Traqmate Carry box.
http://TraqJunk.com. (due to less expensive shipping and manufacturing costs.)

The GT3 Brake Tool greatly simplifies and speeds the process of removing the retaining pin which holds in the pads. This is otherwise a time-consuming and no-fun effort. With the Tool it takes only seconds.
(See photos on the site.) New price $49.95.

The Traqmate Carry Box is a rugged custom-compartmentalized box designed to hold your expensive Traqmate safe-and-sound as you transport it from/from the track and store it. New price $49.95

The seatbelt buckle goes in the stock belt receptacle and silences the buzzer/alarm for when you're using your track belts. Works on Porsche, Audi and BMW. Price $24.95.

Good job Fred!

Can you build a box to carry my radio set around? Must need to change the foam to accommodate different size unit?

RENNLIST discount now available.

Say the word 'Rennlist' somewhere in your on-line order and we'll deduct the shipping charge from your order when it's processed.

The GT3 Brake Tool is great -- 1 hand, 1 second to compress the spring, and the spring stays compressed after you remove your hand. AND we offer a no-questions asked money-back guarantee on the Tool. Only $49.95

Nice stuff, but there are alternatives to the seat belt buckle that you should know about. As noted on Rennlist, the buckles from Audis, VWs and other German cars fit Porsches. Go to a U-Pull-It salvage yard with a sharp knife and cut a few off of the seat belts. I got 10 for $5 and gave away 9 of them, keeping one for my car.

Listers,

I have been researching, and have found that our GT3 Brake Tool works on many other Porsche models, so we've renamed it the TraqJunk Brake Tool.

Depressing the spring to remove the retaining pin on these cars is no fun.

Check it out -- the Brake Tool may work on your car.

With the TraqJunk Brake Tool it takes only 1 second with 1 hand, and the spring remains depressed after you remove your hand, so you can quickly remove the retaining pin.

Take a look at TraqJunk.com and you'll see for yourself.

Our padded carry box worked perfectly to hold Jason Judd's radio, which he uses to communicate between the car on the track, and his crew in the pits.

The padded box works really well to keep our radios safe and it also helps organize all the other pieces, too!

Now, the charger, the base, the radio and the cables are all in one place.

Great way to simplify your life at the track!

If it only could help manage the rest of my life...

Jason

The Brake Tool really speeds up pad changes, and the Seatbelt buckle silences the alarm when you're on the track using your harnesses.
