Hi Topless - some great mods there. How much of a weight reduction is the battery vs stock? And the Seat?
How much work is involved fitting the Sump, how much does increase oil capacity by and does it still sit under the under tray?
Would you say fitting a baffled sump is absolutely pessary if using track tyres? Were you getting oil starvation problems before fitting?
I've never heard of Raybestos - have you used anything else for track and could you compare them to Performance Friction or Pagid?

Cheers


Stuklr: The extended air scoop:





More cosmetic than functional, but if it directs a little more cold air in then great.
(Also shows a 21mm spacer on the rear with a 10J wide wheel and a 25mm spacer up front. Soon to be 15mm rear and 21mm front)

Tyre-wise for track is a little unconventional:



225/45 up front and 245/45's on the back - promotes turn in, reduces understeer and keeps the rolling radius very similar to stock.

(I originally went for this combo because teh tyres weren't in stock in the regular Porsche sizes. His worked and I've stuck with it.
