Thread: Gt3 Brake discs melted

No oiling, smoking or power steering issues so far. I do have an underdrive pulley, motosport AO seperator and just added a Mantis sump extension. I check the PS fluid every event & so far haven't added any in two years. My instructors tell me I have calm hands, smooth inputs and make very few corrections. Even though I've been driving solo for a year I always have at least one instructed run at each event. I always learn...

I'm assuming your car has a TPC turbo or else those other drivers were asleep at the wheel because you were blowing by some of them on the straights which normally a Cayman can't do to a Z06, etc. Looks like a lot of fun!

Anybody have racing seats installed that are NOT the Recaro GT3 seats (or replicas)? I recently installed a set of Sparco Evo 2 seats in my car, and I purchased a 2nd set of seatbelt latches to leave connected to the sparco seat frame (so I don't have to swap with my factory seats). However, the seatbelt latch is much shorter than the side wall (hip bolster) of the seat. Actually plugging in the factory 3-pt belt (for street use) is VERY...

I'm all for modifying cars but in this case I think I'd go for the GT3. I recently drove an '07' GT3 and it is fantastic. My '09' CS is fun to drive both on the street and the track but for me it just doesn't get to the GT3 level. Reliability? I have several friends that have put a lot of track miles on their GT3's with no problems. I would get the DME readout for rev ranges to be safe on the warranty...

I've had the same thoughts but I've gone down the road with modifying my Cayman. I recently crossed the point where I could have owned a nice used GT3 by now. No regrets....but it is always on my mind. I am month or so away from 1 year with my TPC turbo . I drive it very little on the street and have about 18 track days on it. I've had minor reliability issues but not with the turbo. I've replaced both the power steering...

Lookn' good Bruce... brad

This can be really useful info. I took out my adaptive sport seat and weighed it. It's 27.2kg. Hope others can help fill in the rest.

2:14'S at the Glen in a CS with only "a couple of little tweaks here and there" is SMOKING fast! I was especially impressed by how early you are getting on the throttle in the corners. It's hard to tell from that video, but it looks like you are coming into the corners at modest speeds, but you're flying out of them. Nice driving! I feel like I have to drive the pants off my car there to break 2:15. I was...

elh - thanks, that is very solid advice. Alignment fix? I can get that done locally - its already out of "factory spec" - I have GT3 control arms and negative camber in already. The only reason I'm considering the significant mods is that it doesn't have to be a daily driver anymore. I am old enough however, for the adage "the only enemy of good is better" to keep popping in my head. This CS is my...
