good job .......but remember this...anybody hit you from behind in traffic your body parts will be pretty much kaput...i got hit in LA by a pothead in Prius the whole front of the toyota was gone but my 911 nada,just had to realign the rear bumper....so be careful and watch for tailgaters;-)...

Every euro car has the deformable tubes instead of the hydraulic rams. That makes about half the production in those years

[flashboarder]

got it now, you replaced hydraulic with deformable while I thought you just removed! My mistake, sorry!

[Flojo]

weekend work...

the stock setup so far, though as new, must go...



... off it went (stacked for a friend)





24s fixed on cleaned hubs ready



Adapting dust shields. New calipers are larger.







strut cleaned up...



And last week I refurbed the fanhub

Dude, you are in the top 1% of bad-ass b1tchen 911's. It's a head-turning show-stopper. Good job on the mods.

[Flojo]

Thanky. It's a slow process since 2012. Drive refurb balance, haha.
Every season adressing something new.
I'm way behind some other awesome builds here in the forum though.

[Flojo]

BAM!

[Ian Comerford]

Very nice, which calipers are they?

[proporsche]

nice looking 964 calibers,eight?

[Flojo]

yep, 964 C2

This is why I'm surprised by the brake upgrade!

[Flojo]

Not sure if I kep it this way. Nozzle goes up. I prefer the nozzle to go down.
It's more hose-friendly from the angle and gives more clearance to the rim/tire.



This sems better...

More clearance is good...... any difference in air flow ?

[Discseven]

I've been following you here since '14---way to keep at it Flo! And nice work!

[Flojo]

Thanks!

Guess not. I believe the air finds its way

[anil999]

Do you have any pics of how you mounted the caliper to the strut?

Did you fill/re-drill the mounts or end up using an adapter?

[kent olsen]

If you use the venturi technique you would restrict the diameter of the input air just before you enlarge the output area as it blows into the middle of the disc or blows onto the side of the disc.
