Paul - Great car, no wonder the 997 mimicked its styling.

Best thing about it: Will lose little if any value.

Paul - What about the 993 made you go with it?

A 997 GT3 under $100K or a 996 TT under $45K deliver incredible value. I obsess at times about dumping my cars ('84 911, '86 930, '96 993 C2),...

As a reference point, drive a very nice 928(s) to see what these cars can be. Much better to spend the money up front on a car that's been treated well. Good 944's are getting hard to find but are...

Bill,

In your brake spec chart, does the proportioning valve reduction factor, 0.46, mean that above threshold pressure the inlet/outlet pressure slope is (1-0.46):1 = 0.54:1?

I need to remeasure the rotor diameters more carefully - first attempts were through the wheel, ie sloppy. On second look, I think the rears are probably 309mm 930's; the fronts look like 322mm with...

Bill,

Looked over the specs and one question came up. Are S4 front calipers those also used on 928 S4's? Are they the same as 993TT big reds except for pad dimensions?

Reason I ask is that PO...

On PET, the rear brake pressure regulator is shown as P/N 928 355 305 00. Does anyone know the knee pressure and reduction numbers for it?

You hit it exactly with the behavior of the rear tires. Stock 930 tire pressure recommendation is 44 psi, and I've got that up to 48 psi with the ES100's. Still not good enough. SO3's were...
