Suspension and Brake Upgrade – Alignment Settings

Hi all, This is the result of my corner balance.  I’ll probably install GT3 lower front control arms or upper camber plates to get more to a -2 degree camber angle for slightly more aggressive track driving and to support track tires. Cheers Aaron Link to this post!

Suspension and Brake Upgrade – First Road Test

Posted by on Jul 3, 2009 in General | 1 comment

Well today was the day, after almost a full month, that I got my car back on the road…. first impressions, wow what a difference. I took it to the guys at Scan Automotive and they did an amazing job at correcting my mistakes and getting the car setup just perfect.  It would have been better if I put in the front adjustable upper camber plates so they could have done it more the way they wanted so that may be a future upgrade I’ll be doing. I’ll update this post later with all the specs on how the corner balance alignment was done and some new pictures of the car now that I...

Turbo Brake Upgrade – Front Axle Piece Needed for ABS Pickup

Hi all, Just wanted to post a quick picture of the piece that is needed from a busted front 996TT axle to have an ABS pickup that fits in the wheel carrier as the C2 one is too large. ——— EDIT ———— Finally got the ABS pickups I needed from a fellow 6speed member that had a Turbo that was converted to RWD and was going back to AWD.  Both have 48 teeth on them but the size difference is quite noticeable.  Here are some pictures, C2 on the left: —————————- Cheers Aaron Link to this...

Suspension Configuration Information

Hi all, I found this information after much searching for GT3 ride height settings.  In looking at them, I’m going to go with ROW Sport to start as the car needs to be streetable and I’d like to save some of the life on the rear tires… it will be a starting point anyways. As taken from:  http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=4060 —————– RoW Sport: Front ride height: 138mm Rear ride height: 148mm (I don’t know how to convert the spring rates (front 170lbs/in rear 260lbs/in)to kN/m… …so I guessed them) Front spring...

Turbo Brake Upgrade – Some Mathematics..

Posted by on Jun 11, 2009 in General | 1 comment

Hi all, So I have never been able to find documented proof of the weight changes, etc with this upgrade.  So I’m going to weigh all the parts that come off and go on as part of the project and I’ll also include the weight of other things I’ve done to see the total net increase or decrease from my modifications. Turbo Brake Components and H&R Suspension Front Calipers with Pads – 10.5 lbs each Rear Calipers with Pads – 8.25 lbs each Wheel Carriers with hub and bearings – 21 lbs each Front Rotors – 22 lbs each Rear Rotors – 18.5 lbs...
