Yes this is the plan....
Scrap the Brembo GTPs. Get 930 brakes. Finish the car with the stock 5-hole hubs and the Lindseys. Get the center lock hubs made. When ready (March) mount the hubs and take measurements. Have a set of 10x15 and 12x15 917 replica wheels (centerlock) made for street use. Have a set of 9.5x18 and 11x18 Kodiak wheels made for track use. Build a roof rack to carry the Kodiaks to the track (I believe in driving the car to the race track and driving it back). Sell the Lindseys. |

Those wheel choices should make for a stunning contrast.

Teo, please use forged, not cast.
You could mill using forged blanks and have race car strong centers and then use the outers in whatever you need. BTW, I choose fuchs anyway. Or HRE style mesh. I don't personally understand the center lock need other than making the car duplicate a race car in apperiance or making a race car. Didn't porsche use the big wide fuchs to race?

I have all kinds of doubts... especially about being able to stop the thing with the 930 brakes, 2,400lbs and 380 ponies pushing from behind.

Teo,
Interesting idea about down-sizing the brakes. Contact Clint at RebelRacing if you want him to restore and rebuild a set of 930 calipers for you. I'm very pleased what he did for my calipers. Clint also raised the spindles on my struts some years ago. He also did the machine work on my rear calipers so they mate to the 911 trailing arms.   http://www.rebelracingproducts.com Doug

930 brakes are actually very good, with the right pads and front cooling ducts they should handle your 2400 pound car just fine.

I'm curious what tires you'd be using on these wide 15" wheels? |

18" is great for slicks. You won't be running those....they heat cycle out ASAP.

At this moment I am trying to swap my Brembo GTPs and Carrera trailing arms for 930 Brakes and trailing arms. I know the 930 brakes are avaliable... difficult to find are the turbo trailing arms... |

Matteo, I was able to get some 930 trailing arms from DC Automotive. They had several sets back then (4/06). They weren't cheap. $2400 if I remember correctly...I'll have to check. If different, I'll PM you.

It's the Holidays tough time to put the squeeze on the skilled guys that have done so much already.
This thing is gonna be hell on wheels before spring!  I considered the 930 arms and passed. Plenty of very fast guys running aluminum SC arms too. Last edited by ted; 12-29-2006 at 09:52 PM.. |

Plus this is still a street/DE car. i think it would need some more mods to be a competitive race car (full cage, camber boxes in the rear, fg body panels etc). All is good. Keith and Aaron are going to put a squeeze on it next week. Happy new year to all of you! |
