Fronts are Carrera 3.2 and not entirely sure what the rears are but I saw somewhere on the compliance docs that the rears are C3 - which could be the same as SC or 3.2 but not sure.
We were running standard pads which were fine except the uneven wear from left to right is a mystery.

Thank you guys. Not much input from me but credit due to Steve and Dan and the team for putting it all together. More to it than meets the eye when upgrading components and basically starting from scratch. For its first run it went stunningly well, even nicely set up for the track at first crack. I'm no track expert but I wouldn't change anything.
I think someone else needs to start a build, I recommend it and looking back on my previous Porsches - which incidentally happen in perfect order of 993, 964, 911SC and finally the T - you kind of find out where you want to be and its the SC and T that definitely press my buttons.
The T drives like no other six figure Porsche I've ever driven, compared to them it is noisy and gruff and most likely slower but what a fun car it is to drive fast. You can feel the lightness.

In view of Dave's other customization talents, he may not stop at Ariel lightness either. Here's a bit of inspiration Dave - just needs hybrid drive and orange wheels.

Nice, sounds like it will keep you happy for a long while.

I think the issue is likely $$$ Graeme. Many NZ enthusiasts will love the idea of building a hot rod till you tell them its 6 figures. Other guys want matching numbers, original, RHD investment cars for that sort of money. Many buy cars for 60K and end up in 6 figures anyhow. Frankly I rather have this Trod than many 6 figure garage queens but not everyone things like we do. Hopefully one of the team will do the deed but in the meantime I suspect Rasso is enjoying a "break"...

Just stunning Dave. Would love to see the full spec list and the full story of what you left in/out and why. Can you give us a full Macca sized post on the subject?
