The Project Pad

Now for some tires! A little inspiration for you:

I will definitely get some pics in here. I'm very busy with moving things right at the moment, but I just wanted to pop in and say that this thing will do AWD donuts/flat spins like crazy!

Hell yeah! Good call, those things are solid and FAST. Let me know any time if you want to mess with it.

Will do Sam! I noticed a tune for the 957 Turbo S is on the order of $3k. Whoa! I can turbo the 635csi for that much. I'm not saying it isn't justified, because it certainly is when a $30k engine is on the line, but for now I think I'll have to hold off. 600 hp is quite tempting however.

I think I'm going to do secondary cat bypasses and intakes first. All-in for less than 1k and the aural return on investment is good enough for me This thing is far too quiet from the back AND the front. I did get to hear the cold sides of the turbos a little today. I want them to be much more vocal however. A simple intake setup should do the trick there.

Don't worry guys, just gonna go with an intake and de-cat... no big deal...



Do I sense a build thread coming?

Haha I don't think so, but my track record for this isn't great.

Right on! You'll love that thing! I've had the opportunity to drive a couple now and I really like them a lot.

Did it come with ceramic brakes? I got to drive one with them, the rest of the car was awesome, the brakes were mental!

No carbon ceramics on this one. One of the few options it doesn't have. The regular ones are pretty impressive too though. I imagine fade is the major difference. The calipers are huge!

Sent you a PM!

Excellent choice! Secondary cat bypass is by far the biggest bang for the buck. There are cheaper options for tunes right in your back yard, and you can get it done on a dyno. Just because it says porsche some companies will charge twice as much. I will guess you will rethink what type of tire you will put on it - 100 mph comes way to fast for a large heavy pig like this and an offroad tire doesn't really do it. I highly recommend not driving a 911 turbo, you won't want anything else after that.

Haha durq if I could use a 911 turbo for work, I'd have one It's got all seasons on it now, but I really can't be using summer tires for what I'm doing. It still handles incredibly well with the all seasons, but there is some understeer. I'm not too worried about it though. I did just order some weathertech floor liners for it because it's going to be getting dirty!

As far as tune, Sam has contacted me and it seems that there is a very good deal to be had. My wallet hates you Sam!
