I'm very close to this. Maybe I should get this car fixed, then get it waxed and sell it.

Levd. You are in Europe right? These things shouldn't take as long....

I believe all GT3/4/RS will suffer from the cracked piston pucks on the brakes if used heavily on track. My boots are perforated already and I'm pretty certain when we replace the pads next month we will find the ceramic pucks cracked. At this time no one I know personally has received warranty in this but we were all using non OeM pads at some point. I will go with the RB solution (alloy pucks and hi temp seals) at some stage. My last set of OEM pads tapered badly. Brembo should pay for this but they won't...


How much for new complete front callipers?

My friend got warranty on this last year. Now I've got it today too. Yellow Pagits on my car and the same on friend's AFAIK. PAG asked a lot about thickness etc, but seemed to be ok with pads brand/model. I know OEMs are Pagit too. Maybe that's why.

Two front calipers would cost me 2600-2700 EUR plus labour.

It all depends on what slots my dealer gets allocated.

I was told yesterday fall 2017 first US deliveries, spring/summer 2018 some PTS cars to 918 VIP's possible (maybe others as well, but as that's my only possible purchase route, it's all I was informed on). now just need to decide if I can part with the Spyder when it comes or keep both.

I want 918 motor in non-hybrid P-car.

Install full PFC Cup brake set-up. Track to hearts content, then reinstall warrantied stock brakes when it comes time to sell.

Hi guys, this is my first post, been enjoying reading all the hype! I've got my £10k down with my dealer too although they aren't giving anything away about manual or 4litre at the moment......... Hoping to get my hands on one of these :-)

Thanks Bronson, would certainly be a good dream if I land one! It'll be an incredible car irrespective of transmission and size of engine
