Steve, I too run endless and love them, good all round and track pad, quiet, high stopping power, and importantly quiet once bedded in. About $400 an axle but $/km is worth it.

Thanks, I will checkout endless.

Steve. If it's only for one track day I should think the factory pads will be fine. I ran factory pad son all 5 SI tracks last year plus 5000 km road work and used less than half of them. I think they would do another 2ok road miles. When I upgraded to big reds last year I put on MX72 and they have been supurb now with 2 track days a 3 day targa tour and 5000km road work showing little wear and zero squeal but they are pricy and maybe over kill for a single track day.....we still have a place on SITT for the additional tracks if you wanted to put them through their paces :-)

Luke, just catching up on the thread and really sorry to hear about this but glad you're OK and will be able to get back out there again in another Porsche. Good to see you made the most of her during your time together - bodes well for enjoying her successor down the track.
I was going through a bunch of my Porsche stuff today and came across some old photo's I had of a silver GT1 at the old CCS premises in Auckland. Must've been 17 odd years ago. Always wondered the back story to the car. Does anyone know if it was a resident here for a while or just visiting? Plate was DW9

Cheers for that guys. It won't take me too long to get itchy feet again for another Pcar. Will just be a case of being patient again and waiting for the right car.

There were many LHD supercars that get first registered here to enable registering elsewhere for LHD permit and tax reasons.

Car was owned by Danny Wong. Sat in it a few times trying to figure out what parts were 993. Was on a tax holiday in NZ from Malaysia on the 50/50 rule. I've seen it in the states so assume it sold to a collector there after leaving NZ...

Steve. I don't think you will need any addition brake ducting for the 993. It does aid pad longevity particularly for the front rotors, but factory pads will not run out on you. I would recommend new brake fluid. The factory fill will be fine but SRF is better still especially on a longer track like Highlands....

Yeah. DW9 plates now on a 2008 RR Phantom. So I guess that what he has here now. It was a crazy car. Side skirts sat 50mm from the ground and needed wooden chocks it get it in the old workshop around the back. Very low. I dont think it did more than a few 1000 km while it was here.
