Masher964 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 A tree. Apparently there were bits of wood sticking out of it. I just bought the cup holders from it though they'd rather I had bought the engine! Apparently the seats are gone already were anyone thinking along those lines.

They sure are green. £100 plus VAT to stop me slopping a can of Coke over my crutch and the seat. Never dared try hot coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webdunk Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Green cupholders!? Mine are black... and likely to remain unused for the duration of my ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PorscheGT4 Posted March 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2016 I could not help myself on a low miles minter, 65 cars owned and the R was the best car I have had, so bought another today ;-) Porsche nailed it with the R, it's 100% usable performance with just that right amount of feel, perfection on UK B blasts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to do with it, as it will not see a track so needs are less. i,ll fit 340mm disks, spacers, maybe eccentric monoballs to all 4 lca, and do engine mounts and rear toe links. That will sort out the handling and brakes and a bit more feel. Then it might get 370bhp not decided on bhp yet. Eccentric monoballs will get me to -1.6 camber up front. Enough for a fast road spec, then I am swapping my spyder wheels with cup 2's over to it, again Spyders will not see track so move the cups to the R for summer. Gt4 has a load of parts and a track geo going on it in 3 weeks. if any one wants me to add eccentric tarret monoballs let me know as its a USA order and I'll add them to mine as post is $85 again I would say to people fit the function 1st engine mount, so if any one wants to to add parts to my order let me know ASAP.

Red Square Images Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Interested to hear what brake setup you're going for. Standard is shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorscheGT4 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I think shocking is a bit harsh, but it will be upsized gyro 340MM disks, caliper spacer to take the larger disks with RS29 pads and GT3 ducts. I might swap the whole PCCB system from my Spyder to the R going forward which is 6 pots and 350mm disks all round if I decide to sell the GT4 and go all out on the R. I tend not to use brakes ;-) so not a big issue on a road car. I'll only track the GT4 from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PorscheGT4 Posted March 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2016 Well got the new R home tonight, loved the drive back, any one who sold one to get a GT4 is missing a trick imo. I think the R will go big at some point like the 964RS, it's def the last of the cars with real feel, bloody love it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
