I commend you for looking to safety. It's something too many people neglect on the front end and only address once they've made the car faster.

I suggest you look for a thread titled "LSD Buster". The non-functional LSD in your car is a high speed liability. If you get it properly rebuilt your car will be both faster and safer.

 

Aye that's often over-looked Matt. Not anymore though, right guys?

 

may be it is just me - but isn`t it a bit premature to start rebuilding your car only after 2 days?
really, take some time with it and decide on what your plans will be, will you do DE only, or you want to start racing it afterwards, if yes, what class do you want to be with and what organization, then decide what running weight you will need, then start rebuilding.

it`s just there are rebuilds out of necessity, like swapping out extremely soft stock 997 C2 suspension but GT3 car has it all pretty much sorted out for initial learning stages.

if you really serious about autosport and you do want to use this car on a track a lot - I would say - invest into full cage and put in all proper safety features, HANS, etc. and determine what budget you can sustain maintaining all this.

 

I just took delivery of my GT3 this past Sat. I am an SCCA racer and an HPDE Instructor & I plan to track my GT3 but I do NOT plan to do any mods at first except, maybe, installing the rear brake ducts that come on the 2010 GT3.
Mr. B

 

Are they better/different than regular TT rear brake ducts?

I actually did cut front GT3 ducts and got them fit into rear. It looks to me neither TT nor GT3 ducts do not to lower level than plastic cover panels in front of them so it is problematic to assess how much air actually gets diverted to rotors...

 

That's a fair comment. I actually have tracked my RS4 about a dozen times prior to the GT3, which puts my skill level at just outside of the noobie crowd. At Infineon, I found that I was carrying a lot speed through several turns which caused me to slip in the seat and grab the wheel. . . not a good practice when slight steering inputs, at the wrong time, could put me and the car at risk.

I plan on about 10 DE events annually with no racing in my future (life insurance issue). The seats, harness, hans, brakes will get me where I need to be. If not, I'll buy a cup car

 

you are in same position as I am. about of dozen DEs per season, plus I do 12-15 auto-x events per season in average.

highlighted is all right, as of brakes - GT3 has exellent brakes. I run with way smaller C2 base brakes and they work fine with RS29 pagids. yours are more than sufficient, i would only put bigger cup car front brake ducts instead of stock ones you have, look it up on suncoast web store, and also check if you have any brake ducts on rear brakes.
