Super helpful thread. +1 to leaving the ribbon attached to the circuit board on the sata equipped cars.

Minor note, the drive bolts are torx 8 which is annoyingly small.

+1 to all the street vs track comments. I have a 958.2 Cayenne GTS that's immensely more capable as a daily. It's helped me remember how insanely mechanical and raw the 6-3 is and that it needs a...

Price sounds right for all that carbon and titanium! I'm curious why you think the Singers won't age well?

I've found one other heat related issue.. the radiator shutter servo has failed. Interestingly, I can move it by hand AND it closes at speed (80-100mph). Not impressed with that that failure state....

Control arm ball joint - move by hand? Drips?

I'm replacing my control arms and I was able to move the ball joints by hand.. not loose but didn't need a ton of force. The new Cup arms seemed tighter at first but then I was installing them and...

Closing the loop here. I talked to a local shop.. this didn't seem like news to him. So I guess it's normal. I'm getting the same measurements by adding 5mm of shims. so far, so good :)

Bumping an old thread as I seem to have found 997 Cup arms 997.341.341.90 that are the same length as RSR arms aka shorter than street. I'm about to replace my stock 996 gt3 arms and the caster hole...

Yes, I figured you meant cables.. I glossed over that and went right to shifters! Sounds like a bunch of FF parts and Numeric cables are the route for me.

Which inserts did you choose and I...

Anyone have a lead on Cup car cables?

Would love some for my car.. sadly I'm probably 5 years late to this party.

​​​​​​If not, I guess Numeric?

The BBS rep I spoke to explicitly stated don't powdercoat any part of the wheel. Yes rotors get that hot but I'd doubt that any part of the aluminum wheel gets that hot on track. low 300s to 400 F...

Their solution was to ask Supreme Power about refinishing the lips as they apparently went through the effort of getting the BBS Gold paint from Germany. Given they're a BBS dealer, I'd probably just...

Maybe I'll get flamed for asking - anyone ever asked for gold lip with gold centres? Is that possible?

That's much better than I expected. I figured 500ish per side with sliders. Another upside of the OEM seats is they'll hold their value if/when you resell. Plus the Porsche logo is worth at least 5hp...
