, yes, got the wireless kit. I meant another 1M yesterday with straight through revosport. Definitely not very loud unless you rev it. Not sure if the wireless kit is definitely necessary unless where you track have sound restriction.

the CF version is $16k... and I lost my electric seat - although I must admit I haven't changed the settings since I the first week of ownership.

PS - carbon roof + carbon/honeycomb bonnet + carbon kevlar boot lid is half the price and give you similar weight savings in the right place.

Thanks. I have booked the car to be done next Thursday and Friday. So, hopefully the part that needs some extra treatment will be back from Sydney on Thursday.

Ok I don't come here often but I just saw the CCM-R on the last page. So what am I missing here? The brake pads are priced very reasonably after all.

Also, I don't know much about the CCM-R other than that it's the latest carbon ceramic rotors for Brembo. But I have Porsches with PCCB and I have been told that they don't last that much longer than the steel brakes on the track. So are you sure you want to be tracking this thing baiting GT3? Also, I've owned two GT3s. It will be one heck of an achievement if you beat one on the track!

Good to see you Way!! CCM-R eliminates the problem of PCCB - at least I will try to beat one A friend of mine have a 996 regularly tracking in QR, so really I will only be chasing him . I will keep you up to date .

Price is per pad and not for the set!

Post some videos of the chase! Haha. Good seeing you go crazy with the 1M btw.

As for the pad, yes, that is not that expensive, in my opinion anyway.

I guess Porsche stock pads probably about the same .

Are you thinking just clear on the CF or painted, the roof with clear coat would be best the other parts painted IMHO. Thinking vents for the bonnet, or bulge?

Yes. Brembo's latest kit for the 1M/M3 - same disc on the F430 Cup Cars.
Just wondering what size discs they are? 345mm or 405mm and who did you go through?

380mm fronts and 360 rears. I bought them through aworkx in Germany, as they were the only one I found who can get it in for me at that time, and they are great to deal with. However, vividracing in the US also sells them who is a sponsor of the forum. The Australian retailers would not budge on price.

I can send you contact details if you send me a PM.
