From base Carrera to HPDE performer
As part of our gearbox and slave cylinder replacement a full fluid purge and refill with ATE Super Blue Racing fluid was in order. Therefore no time better than the present to take the opportunity to adjust the parking brake as well. Adjusting the parking brake on the 911 is similar to other drum brake…
Text will be added later – New Slave Cyl – Rebuilt Gearbox fixed pinion whine – New SACHS clutch. The 6 puck SPEC was grabbing & chattering
Found a GT3 Aero Kit! The Carrera 2 and the GT3 share the same basic chassis & suspension. It’s the gearbox and engine that really make the GT3 shine. The early 996 GT3 (which was never sold in the USA) had a ‘body kit’ installed from the factory which was also available on the 996…
The amber turn signals were delivered on the earliest Bosters & 996 cars. Personally I dont like them at all. I like the new 997 headlights as they look more “classic 911” however this is a 996 so we’re stuck with what we have. What we can do however is swap out these old faded…
I was lucky enough to find that “The Racer’s Group” had just posted a set of the later model tail lights on their website. Something they had taken off a 996 shell for conversion into one of their full on race cars no doubt. It gives the rear of the car a nice updated look.…
Monday, Project 996 was back on track as ACS owner Bill Sulouff was instructing at the BeaverRun Motorsport complex. The corner weighting, pressure adjustments and the ride height adjustments which were carried out last week all made a positive improvement on the 996’s handling. The cars seems to be handling about right now for a…
Monday is another track day at BeaveRun where Bill will be instructing so we spent a little time on the 996 this weekend attending to some things that were still not optimal. First off the brake pads that had been on the car for the first track day proved to be insufficient, fading after only…
You think the shifting of your 996 is already as good as sports cars get? Think again! We just installed a B&M shifter into ACS Project 996 and wow, what a difference. The shifting has gone from excellent to ‘PERFECT’.The shifter is supplied with everything needed to install plus the included B&M instruction manual which…
We had a BMC panel filter laying around unused so we popped it in this weekend. This filter has a very nice soft silicone type seal all around the edge. This filter appears to be very similar to the excellent “Green” Brand filters we recommend. Great fit, quality materials, recommended. Later we will be installing…
