I finally bit the bullet and Xmas came early today 😬

What could be inside?

Thank you Santa!!

 

Lovely! Are you on the Stock 6 pots with 350mm rotors?

 

Interesting that the rear calipers are open

 

Yup, stock 6 pots since I've had the car since 2008.

Recently upgraded the following items so I thought, what the hey, it's time to get more stopping power to balance the extra horsepower:

1. Cobb Stage 3 1300CC tune with larger injectors
2. BBI Slave Cylinder
3. GT2 Motor Mounts
4. Sachs 2.5 clutch
5. New Forge Divertor Valves

Fingers crossed that this will help to make the car "new" to me again

 

 

Looks awesome! how do you like the BBI?

 

All my current upgrades have been great! But in regards to the BBI, I still find it too stiff even with the GT3 Pedal Spring installed.

It's great for feel, but in traffic, OMG, it would be too much. That being said, I've only had the car back for a week and driven only about 30km (3 trips) so I think in time, I will adjust.

But initial impressions:

1. Stock clutch pedal is too soft
2. BBI clutch pedal is too stiff.

If the BBI unit was 25% less stiff, it would be perfect. I tried out my friends 997.2 GT3RS, and his pedal seems to be somewhere in the middle....that would be perfect. He also thought
that the BBI unit was much stiffer than his RS pedal. I think my Sachs 2.5 clutch didn't help either.
