I was at Summit Point W.Va this past weekend and roasted my brakes. I'd like to know what pads are recommended. Please realize I autocross alot and need a high friction coefficient for the bite on cold brakes. Also my rotors are deeply grooved and I'd like to replace them with 2 piece rotors. Any suggestions -

Had a great time in white. Ran on Yokohama Slicks and the Gt3's couldn't keep up (unless they were right behind me coming out of turn 10!)

Here's me on 3 wheels!


I have a great video from the mini-cam just above the front drivers side headlight. Any way to post or link it?

 

Here's the Pic

 

Here's another - Passed the yellow car then he spun the next lap, coming around the turn near where the gt3 is in this pic.

Need help with the rotors / pads.

 

Just curious...do you have any oil starvation problems running on slicks? I have heard the 996 engine does not like extreme G's and can result in engine failure due to oil starvation.

 

I sure hope I don't. I talked to my mechanic at http://www.gtperformanceinc.com , who also races and he felt that with the maximum level of oil, the carstarvation was highly unlikely. Some of this stuff posted around gets blown out of proportion - the RMS issue looks like everone has it, but if you look at the forums carefully and the Porsche techincal bulletins it is very limited. I have tried to buy a Porsche Motorsports Oilpan kit on Ebay, but I'm looking for a deal! The car was amaziing with slicks. I ran 4, 30 minutes sessions at a very hard pace with no problems. I have 25 autocross events under my belt as well. Good luck-

 

Brembo as well as AP Racing offer 2 piece discs. Now I don't know if they have a specific 996 bolt on kit. And these are pricey. Last time I checked, the rotors were a grand a piece.
