Has Anyone Removed their A/C Compressor from GT3 / RS
hardracing replied to hardracing's topic in 997 GT3, GT3 RS
. Here is a photo of what we are refering to. . -
So, as the subject says.. Has anyone done A/C Delete on GT3 or RS.?? If you have, how did you run the Belt after compressor removal.? That's about the only thing we are having a hard time figuring out.? Or, if anyone has the NO COST - A/C Delete option already done, can you take a photo of your engine bay, (less your Airbox). Thanks .

From personal experience, the RS29's are an excellent pad for a 997 GT3 for the track and they are a different compound from the stock pad (on a 997 GT3, anyway), although they look very similar. They work well, and seem relatively gentle on the rotors. Any pad will eventually eat through rotors and with the cross drilled rotors, you are going to have cracking long before you wear through them, so I wouldn't consider rotor wear as a decision point. You should get 2-3 sets of pads per set of rotors, but rotors are a wear item and a critical part of your braking performance, so you may wish to add that cost into your mental track budget. Regarding streetability, the RS29s are OK on the street, but squeaky and need to warm up before they get good bite. They're easy enough to change (at least the fronts), that you should switch back to your stock pads when leaving the track. That's what I do, anyway. I hear that alot. Downside is mixing brake pad compounds on the same rotors, which We are told takes away some of the effectiveness of the Brake Pad/Rotor Performance on the track. .

Look for some first hand experience with Pagid Pads. 2007 GT3 RS Track (occasional street) Black RS14 ? Yellow RS29 ? Any opinions on one over the other. Have heard that RS14 will EAT your rotors quickly, specially if you use them on the street. made for RACE ONLY. Anyone confirm this.? Or can you usethem on the street as well. Occasionaly. Heard that Yellow is endurance pad... lasts longer, won't eat your rotors. And can be used on street as well. Thanks for your advice guys.
