After removing the two end screws and the plastic pop rivet, do you just pull, yank, it off? I can't get mine off.

Which way do you pull?

Thanks.

Out (horizontal) away from the bumper. Pulls right off.

There are plastic shims that you can install on the wing mounts. There is a 4 way and 8 way adjustable pair. They are very inexpensive. Changing the wing angle without the shims won't work because the wind will push the wing back down.

Where does one acquire these shims and how much are they? Id like to add a little wing to my car...can't hurt.

Thanks for the replies guys. Good info.

What brake pads are you guys using to replace the dusty squealy stocker pads for the steel brakes. The car sees 3 track days a year (maybe) and plenty of spirited street driving. Is there a hot ticket for less dust and no squeal?

Thanks,

1. The seats must come out for placing the main hoop in the car.

2. The rear deck carpet (the section which covers the vehicle's electronics) will be modified to accept the rear tube & shock tower footing.

3. The outside floor corner (behind the seats' outer rear corners) will require drilling (necessitates removal & reinstallation of the belly pan).

4. The same outside floor corners will require the carpeting be cut to accept the cage's front footing & tube. - Also some incidental floor padding will likely be removed here.

5. You will need to take the vehicle to a Porsche dealer for a code reset. - Once the airbag harnesses have been disconnected/reconnected the bag error will become resident until reset with the correct diag unit.

Note A: that if you are taller than 5' 10" you will find the stock seats too restrictive in the rearward adjustment which likely will necessitate fitting the 996 GT3 racing bucket(s), or some other (usually fixed angle) seat with a thinner back section.

Note B: I tried placing the main hoop in the car (just to get it to the shop) with zero luck. I would recommend not frustrating yourself (or potentially damaging the car) with this. - It is much simpler (and safer to the car) with the seats first out of the car.

Thanks for the response. Thats exactly what I wanted to know.

Does anybody know the procedure for installing the Porsche RollBar in a GT3? Is it reversible without damaging the car?

Thanks,

I hear the castrol SRF is VERY hygroscopic and needs to be replaced often. It is also VERY expensive. Most guys I know, myself included, use Motul 600 or ATE Blue Racing fluid.

Id like to hear from somebody who has actaully used the Pirelli Corsa System tires.

My GT3 RS was delivered on Aug 14th with Pirelli tires, not the Michelin cups most seem familiar with.

Does anyone know anything about the Pirellis or how they compare to the Michelins?

Thanks.

I know one individual that routinely tracks his GT3 RS. I was chatting with him at Texas World Speedway a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned that the Pirellis, in his opinion, were far superior to the Michelins. He drives his RS to the track. He seems to cut respectable times - or so I hear :) Thus, it seems like the Pirellis have at least one enthusiastic and knowledgeable supporter.

Don't know/think this helps much, but at least someone out there thinks you have the superior tire.

The word on the Pirellis is that they grip like no tomorrow but wear horribly.

I suspect I was running way too much air last weekend at Willow. It was 95 degrees F ambient and I was running the recommended street pressures. The tires became pretty slippery on the track. I was catching the car all day. After reading the Michelin PDF, It appears I was running at least 5-7 psi (cold) too high for the prevailing track and conditions.
