^ Gotcha... The GT2RS fenders look much better! The CUP's are even more agressive and require "seven's"...meaning no side marker lights.

I guess I should give you some insight in regards to the images:

I had the engine dropped to have the Coolant pipes welded, COBB 1000cc Injectors in stalled, COBB 3 Bar Map Sensor, BBI Coil Packs, Custom BBI Race Exhaust system, and some larger Turbo Inlet tubes installed. Also, switching over to a custom COBB Dyno tune with multiple maps for both 91 and 101 octanes.

Hope to have some Dyno numbers soon.

I was at MRLS last weekend 90DB day so that means and upshift to 5th and bog it up the hill @ 5. First time on NT-01's which took some getting used to. First video is a from a friends car and a little cat and mouse. Laps times are 1:44-1:45.

Eurotom and DR. S: Thanks Guys!

I am pretty excited about all this. Think we finally have all my front axle failures and front diff issues behind me for now!

Looking forward to spring of 2016 and getting this beast back on track!!!

Tom: 1:38.4 is quick in a 991 GT3, especially on a 90db day! What tires was he running?

What was the solution for the removal of the front diff?

He's running MPSC2's with a GPS based switch that closes his PSE before entering T-5. If you listen carefully you can hear it engage into the braking zone of T-5 and reopening after T-6.

Lots to learn after watching these videos.

Sonoma Raceway 11.22.2015:

Well our season has come to an end. Our final race was held last Sunday at Sears Point. My turbo has basically sat out all season. It made one appearance at SP earlier in the year and was still just a huge disappointment in RWD mode. I hope to have the car back in my possession mid to late January and begin testing in February of 2016.

On Sunday I was offered some seat time in a 2013 991 C2S. I took the car out for 5 or 6 laps in a Point by Only session to get a feel for it. After coming back in and chatting with the owner for a bit he offered to let me take it out once again in our race group. Not just a practice session in the car but to actually grid up and RACE IT!!!

My grid position was determined from the 5 or 6 laps I did in the point by session, which ended up putting me in P2 for the start. Things ended up working out well for me during the race and somehow I manage to take the overall win.

Below is a picture of the extremely well set-up and prepped 991C2S that got me to the victory circle! HUGE thanks to the vehicle owner for giving me this opportunity and his crew for the track support!

This car was an absolute joy to drive. Manual transmission, TC removed, Motec Dash & Data Logging, 19” Hoosier R7’s and many other bits of trickery.

Hope you all have a wonderful and a very relaxing Holiday season!
Cheers,
VID
