I have planned a trip to see this car in person next week. If everything goes well, I will buy it. Just trying to see if any of you guys in the area know the car, or even better some forum member owned it. So i can get some first hand information. I don't want to be disappointed when i see it. hilarious

DME scan was very clean, only a few over revs in range 1. nothing in the higher range.
Carfax was very good too. One owner and so on.

I googled the VIN, then i found out it was for sale at park place porsche in August 09, but the sales man told me the previous owner traded it in for a white 997TT. This got me thinking a little bit.

Hope some local guys know the car!

Thanks alot for your help!

No this is not a photoshop, no Vivid Racing did not do it, and yes it is part rock n roll and part frightening. But major props to the owner for the body work to get this thing to fit so cleanly. Yes ladies and gents, that is a 98-02 Camaro rockin a morphed replica TechArt body kit. Not sure these came in the IROC, but this could be a SS. So get out your Lynard Skinard Cassettes and put the pedal to the metal! All the TA details are there: Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, and Side Skirts. Is this the highest form of flattery? I expect this to make its way around the internet community but of course, original at the Vivid Racing Blog. Enjoy!

On November 15th in Primm, Nevada, Carl Renezeder of team American Flyer went from five-time to seven-time national short course champion by winning the Unlimited 2 and Unlimited 4 titles in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series’ inaugural season.
The vehicle was equipped with the new forged Tech1R-1000, the world's lightest and strongest off-road racing wheel.
"We worked closely with Forged Alloys USA to develop this wheel", said the victorious Renezeder. "At 28 lbs, the "Superalloy" wheels were almost 12 pounds lighter than the competitive cast wheels. This turned out to be a significant winning advantage. Reducing unsprung weight by over 40 lbs is simply critical in a race vehicle with over 20 inches of suspension travel".
Congratulation to the whole American Flyer Team for a well-deserved victory!

The Tech1R is produced in the USA at the Forged Alloys USA facility in Oxnard, CA.

From the order guide, PTV: Actively enhances the driving dynamics and stability by enabling variable distribution of engine torque to the rear wheels and mechanical limited-slip rear differential. Depending on the steering angle, steering speed, throttle pedal position, yaw velocity and vehicle speed, PTV optimizes steering response and precision by applying brake pressure to the left or right rear wheel as required.

Any thoughts on how PTV might adversely affect rear brake longevity when used on the track? We all know heavy track use can quickly chew through the rear pads. I wonder if PTV might make things worse. I am thinking PTV + track time + PCCB's = costly proposition. ]]> 997 Turbo / GT2 sparkhill http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/997-turbo-gt2/192938-ptv-rear-brake-longevity.html Looking into ECU upgrades, need clutch advice. http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/997-turbo-gt2/192920-looking-into-ecu-upgrades-need-clutch-advice.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:04:03 GMT Hello all,

I'm currently in the process of researching ECU upgrades for my baby and I need a bit of advice from the transmission gurus of this forum. Some of the advertised software gains from several tuners are quite impressive. Many look like they would shred though my OEM clutch despite having low miles. What have people found? Is an upgraded clutch immediately required or recommended?

I plan to run both our local 93 octane fuel and possibly Sunoco 100 octane, especially on track days. When I'm behind the wheel I'd say I have a heavy foot and I love the feeling I get ripping into it when no one else is around. I do plan to take the car to the track possibly once or twice next year for driving lessons but I'm not interested in drag racing.

Basically, what does everyone recommend for a driver like me?

Modification Plans
1. ECU Upgrade/software
2. 93 Octane daily and 100 Octane on special occasions.
3. Possibly a full exhaust depending on noise levels (still need to research).

Driving Habits/Plans
1. Mild daily driving. I drive the car after work more than once a week and on the weekends so it doesn't just sit in my garage.
2. Heavy foot off the line.
3. Heavy foot all the time to be honest.
5. Interested in driving lessons on the track.
6. No plans to drag race. (Only real racing for me!)

Clutch Feeling
1. I don't want an on/off switch if possible.
2. Would not mind keeping the OEM clutch if it can get me though one or two driving lessons on the track.

Thank you! ]]> 997 Turbo / GT2 AutoBond007 http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/997-turbo-gt2/192920-looking-into-ecu-upgrades-need-clutch-advice.html How is everybody building their 2010s? http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/997-turbo-gt2/192912-how-everybody-building-their-2010s.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:14:54 GMT My order is in!

Also included... FVD-Brombacher is proud to announce that we are now offering do-it-yourself flash load ECU software upgrades for the 997 Turbo and GT2! Also included with our latest software version for the 997TT & GT2 is a free single user license for Durametric basic software, allowing you to read out and diagnose fault conditions on your vehicle.
FVD-Brombacher’s flash load software is a user friendly Windows® based software application that provides the ability to read out and load programmed software directly thru the vehicles OBD II port. Programming is a simple, computer guided experience and requires hardly any user input. FVD-Brombacher supplies the customer with a USB cable which interfaces directly with the vehicles diagnostic port and our companion flash load software program. Read-out of the vehicles ECU takes place with the click of a button thru the vehicle-encrypted cable, which automatically creates and sends a file to a secure server at FVD-Brombacher Headquarters in Germany. Our software programmers then extract the file’s data, tune the software, then modify the program to suit the customer’s individual needs. Customers are able to express individual tuning requirements in a text field at the end of original file read-out before the program is sent to Germany. Here, the customer can input performance upgrades already installed on the vehicle and our programmers can adapt software tuning to extract maximum performance gains out of existing vehicle modifications.

Whether your vehicle is heavily modified or completely stock, FVD-Brombacher will custom tune our programming to suit individual requirements. While we are able to modify a program based on individual needs, FVD-Brombacher tunes Porsche ECU’s with the following modifications in mind:
-Increasing throttle response
 -Modifying Ignition Timing
 -Optimizing Air and fuel ratios
 -Removal of the top speed limiter
 -Increasing the rev limiter
 -Modification of boost mapping on turbo vehicles
All of FVD-Brombacher’s programming is proprietary, developed in house by FVD, for FVD, our partners and you, our customers. After modifications are made to the software, the file is then sent back via email directly to the customer who can then load the program back into the vehicle. The read-out of the original software and loading of the new program takes only minutes and the entire flash load process from start to finish takes under an hour. Customers also have the ability to flash their ECU back to stock anytime using the same cable and software, as the customer is also sent their original, unmodified program file. FVD-Brombacher stands behind all of their products and offers a 14-day money back guarantee on software upgrades. FVD-Brombacher also offers free software program updates should the customer decide to step up their performance and choose one of our level kits.

First is regarding PCCB's. Who here winter drives their car that has PCCB's and do you notice anything negative about the brakes in cold, wet conditions?

Second question is regarding sports seats. Can anyone tell me why you can't get ventilated sports seats? It seems to me that for someone racing their car, having some extra cooling would be nice. I know the sports seats have a solid back for structural support....is this why they aren't ventilated? No way to pass the air through the seat? I don't see the car getting much track use, certainly not enough to offset the benefit of the ventilation on hot, long road trips so what are the feelings out there on the standard seats or for that matter the effectiveness of the ventilated seats?
