ErikS Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 yeah but DIRY? No, TNSTAAFL. Still want to sell it? Someday, when its finished. erik what are your plans for this beast? AutoX, BTCC races lol. drag queen. scare the shit out of the kids at school. Street car for now, track eventually. Got some cosmetic issues to deal with once its running again (paint, dash, interior) Did Aaron do anything special for you that I should know about? What EMS are using? (March break post from Cancun) ;,) Nope, although our cars are blood brothers, just a 20 psi custom ARD tune for now. After that a real turbo and EMS, manifold, and exhaust is all that is left.

ErikS Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Small update. New dash is in and reinforced, feels super solid. Going gold on the rear S60 R and front boxter S calipers with red brembo decals. For those interested the boxter S monoblock calipers fit perfect (edit: with slight modification) with CJ's brackets and the S60 R rotors. All said an done it was an $800 front Porsche BBK kit. Down to replacing the headliner, painting the car, settling on some wheels and seeing if Lucky will help sort out his "custom" tune which isn't exactly working right and that's it.

What kinda wheels are you running or rather et since the 996 brembos seem to be I little bit wider than big reds/blacks?

What kinda wheels are you running or rather offset since the 996 brembos seem to be I little bit wider than big reds/blacks? I have OEM pegs at the moment which I believe are ET 46 which clear no spacers, but I do have 5 MM spacers as well in front for the KW V2's (suspension geometry with the KW's at full drop.)

Modman Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I have OEM pegs at the moment which I believe are ET 43 which clear no spacers, but I do have 5 MM spacers as well in front for the KW V2's I have. Cool. I just picked up r rear calipers and I'm on the hunt for the front. The big reds/blacks are scarce and I always wondered about the boxter brembos fitting. They SHOULD fit the 17" hayaku from Eurosport no problem with a 35 et I suppose Edited September 17, 2014 by ModMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big reds/blacks are scarce and I always wondered about the boxter brembos fitting. They SHOULD fit hayaku from Eurosport no problem with a 38 et I think the OEM 18'' and OEM 17'' may differ. I am getting conflicting information in my search, my 17'' OEM pegs maybe ET 46. If anyone knows for certain please correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emiel Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 ET46 it is. Calipers look good Erik. Good to know there are other caliper options than the 993TT and 996 calipers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 New dash as in brand new, or used but new to you? The instrument panel (what we call the dash that mounts to the firewall) is no longer available from Volvo. I found a 97 dash that was in good order and swapped it in (or rather, Aaron swapped it in) with lots of reinforcement. ET46 it is. Calipers look good Erik. Good to know there are other caliper options than the 993TT and 996 calipers. Thanks Emiel! I was skeptical, but the pad sweep on the Boxster S is 330 mm.
