QUOTE(monkeyboy @ Oct 28 2013, 11:50 AM) Please tell me you will be running those brakes as well... Those are beautiful. Carbon Ceramic disk brakes aren't the go to race track abused rotors. Many gt3 / rs / cup guys swap out their carbon ceramic rotors for steelies, yet retain the oem Porsche (yellow) caliper. In any case, we're going with a steel based big brake kit set - up. |

QUOTE(396 @ Oct 25 2013, 12:37 AM) Pretty! How will this last in the real world? The Forgeline wheels and centerlocks should hold up fine long term. Its really just one BIG nut instead of five smaller ones. Not much different than the factory setup except the Forgeline package is lighter than its German counterpart sans the titanium nut. Some extra parts I have laying around. Starting the boy off right Marty! Nice project. See what Mulholland does to people? Attached image(s)

QUOTE(Mike Bellis @ Nov 17 2013, 03:32 PM) Marty, Any special coating for the pistons? I'll be weighing in on this with the engine builder this week. We have several heat dissipating things going on in the engine; piston oil squirters , specific forced-induction forged pistons, and lots of external oil cooling. I am a fan of ceramic coated piston tops + valve faces. |

Snowman, it is all in the " Time on target" and experienced torch skills. It works for us.

SQS sequential shifter system for the 996gt2 transaxle.
We will need to have a longer cable made for mid engine application.  |

My philosophy is "Built not bought" so although some of these procured parts are pricey, I'm still ahead with my dollars by putting it all together. Anyone want to guesstimate what Ruf, Singer or Patrick would roll one of these out of their shops for ?!!
And then there is the fun factor of that first push on the start button + waking this monster up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Marty |

But none of those guys seem to really hang out in the 914 crowd so they typically don't have builds that interest me. |
