Some of you might have already seen this...if you're an "LS 914" fan - you'd be interested. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Second Day after changes (1 lap only) - amazing balance in the car! https://youtu.be/NhHMaa0_R5o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHMaa0_R5o https://youtu.be/LfFdP8GnXiQ (12+ minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfFdP8GnXiQ This was the second session of the first day the car was on the track...maybe pushing it a little too hard out of the gate but it did well. I tightened the front bar, lowered the rear ride height, tightened up the shocks (dampening) and lowered air temps Sunday/today - WOW! What a difference...I don' know which one did it or a bit of them all but it worked...took three seconds off my time as compared to this video. This is a LONG video (12+ minutes)...I had been flagged for being too loud and had to "lift" 300 yards before the first marker on the straight. Bummer. I started following SixAddict for a couple laps. We had a great time! Tony |

Bob - Yeah right! Just what you need to blow your trans...not for me.
Randal - That motor is bone stock out of a Camaro SS (425 hp) running the factory tune too. I was locking up my front right tire in testing and therefore couldn't even think about late braking - we'll get it sorted and then watch out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tony |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tony I had lots of issues with front brake lockup until I took a different approach. The new approach definitely worked for Autox and Hillclimbs, but can't tell you about events longer than 4 minutes. But it might be worth a try.

If anyone is questioning upgrading their brakes...stock Boxster units would work just fine. I am running the larger 996 911 front brakes (and stock Boxster rears) but if I was starting over again, I'd just go with the Base Boxster Front and Rear.
