Trackrat's GT3RS Project

[FFaust]

Ha Pete, found you

So this is where you've been hiding.

Anyway, great thread and great to see that you haven't slowed down

If you want my honest opinion, modding a GT3 is a waste of time and money.
These cars are fine from the factory and can be driven flat out if you have the latest (and most expensive) driving suit and fireproof underwear.

Hi Fatih, these are the cameras supplied by RaceKeeper. I might need to get their comment on the condition of the cameras. Perhaps one is defective?

Lol...what if you combine a modded car with the fancy pants and driving suit John??

[911SLOW]

Fancy pants? Hmmm.. That would be Peter.. No?



Your car looks great as always. Hope you are having fun with the mods..
you know that the end result is just a detail.. it's the journey that counts more.



Guys as a side note, I wish you all the best for the new site! I see a lot of friends here and I am sure that it would be a great place.
I would like to thank Fatih for his invitation and kind words.
Most of you know that apart from rennlist I do not participate in any other site..not even facebook
The fact that I had to join PCA just to be able to meet you fine gentlemen (and ladies? ) here says it all.

Best

I second those thoughts. Welcome John!

Hi Pete- great to see you again and you were looking fast and smooth!

I will be swapping the MovIt rotors off the 2RS onto the 3RS for the GG PCA TT/DE this upcoming weekend. In combo with the new suspension it should be big fun with durable brakes! Separate post here on the forums regarding the testing over the past couple days.

I have been following you on rennlist for a while. I am jeolous you get so much track time.

Just curious, I have not seen a pic of your 3rs lately but what wheel and tire combo are you running? Not sure if this is the place to start the whole 19 v 18 debate so i want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

Thanks buddy.

Hi Stu, glad you found me here

So as to keep my variables and problems to a minimum I have kept stock wheel sizing/tire sizing/offsets.

Yes it limits my tire choices a bit, but I have yet to have an "Ice Pedal" or any other issues possibly related to these changes. I am sure many folks are happy running 18"'s and I don't mean to imply that is a bad decision at all.

My favorite combo for any of my cars is the Forged Alloy USA lightened wheels and Pirelli Trofeo tires.

It must be said that me and others have had some really awful experience with the purchase and delivery of the Forged Alloy USA wheels and I cannot currently in good conscience recommend anyone try to buy them. The wheels themselves have been great once the delivery/sizing/offset issues are resolved.

I think Vorsteiner currently offers a compelling value in design and light weight and strength and I have ordered a set for my Cayenne.

Very nice Pete but I think you're sandbagging a bit on the changes, no?

Maybe some trick suspenny mods and slightly enhanced diff? Not that I have any inside knowledge

[tcsracing1]

great build. I have done the same except on a 997.1RS.

now that you have full cage you should drag the car to Targa Newfoundland for a whole different experience.

Ah- I listed only what I did over the winter, not what I did previous. Just edited the original post. Think that is all but I may have forgotten something
