Melted Brake Sensors

[thstone]

Yes, I am getting much faster on track (and actually starting to use the brakes to more of their capability).

I already have the GT3 cooling ducts and I'm running a race brake fluid. I didn't realize that the GT2 ducts are even larger (but makes sense).

Will get those installed before I go to Laguna Seca for 3 days at the end of the month. Thanks guys!

honestly if you have dot 4 (thats the best right its been awhile) race fluid and gt3 ducts you shouldnt have any issues. That is exactly my setup and I used to AX up in Monterey all the time. Granted the difference in my setup is I have a base, I use steel brake lines (probably a good idea) and I removed the sensors.

Yeah, it seems that the only thing I need to do is to remove the brake sensors (and I'll see if I can find the GT2 ducts cheap somewhere, like a dismantler). The brakes themselves worked perfect all day, I was just surprised by the melted sensors.

A common problem on a hot day is to fry your sensors. Just tie em up out of the way. Solid rotors, a good set of track pads, Motul 600 fluid, and 997 GT3 ducts should do the trick and keep your brakes cool. This is the Boxster Spec race car setup.

Note of experience: The big GT2 ducts sound like a good idea but probably are only useful on a dedicated track car. They hang down really low and get scrubbed off on everything. I just hate leaving $300 plastic ducts in my mirrors.

I have been running the GT2's both on track and street, and I do a lot of street driving, for over 2 year without an issue. Maybe in San Fransisco you might have an issue. dont know for sure.
