New Updates : GT3 Brakes, BBS replica Wheels and GT3 Steering Wheel

Got my new Xmas presents to myself installed. The weather is a joke here at the moment and I need to bed the brakes in, but they already feel superb. Got a track event in January to really test them out.







Also Managed to get the car on a rolling road today. Managed to get 243hp and 225 lb/ft but it was wheel spinning a little on the rollers. The operator thought it was around the 255-260 hp mark on a dry day. Happy with that!



Cheers!

I love the brakes, how much bigger are the rooters over stock?

They are now 380mm which is 30mm larger at the front. The 350mm's are now on the back. The biggest different in the caliper, the pads are huge compared to the old ones so I expect some pretty powerfull braking and zero fade.

Apologies for bringing this thread back from the hinterland!

Just wondering if anyone has completed this upgrade on this side of the ocean?

Anyone have part #'s and details? Rims / spacers you would need to run, etc...

Any info would be much appreciated (and yes, I have used the sear function )

Hey Noone986s,

I love your suede steering wheel. Was that an option or aftermarket goody?

Where can I get one?

Thanks

It's from Ninemeister in the UK

They exchange yours and re-trim it with Alcantara and Leather to look like the GT3 one. Its pretty much identical to the genuine GT3 one but much cheaper.

Thanks
