Thanks guy's it's just like the process on my old 968CS and 993 C2. That's very reassuring. If I read you all correct, after the two cheese head bolts have been removed, there's enough movement in the brake lines to be able to move the caliper clear of the disc and thereafter removing the disc. On my other cars, the bracket on the strut where the brake line is clipped was cut so that the lines could easily be slipped free and extra space created to move the caliper around.

Anyone undertaken this task themselves. In particular I need advice on how to release the brake line on the front struts in order to remove the caliper and then replace the discs.

Also anyone know whether the Wokshop Manual is available on CD and if so where I might buy a copy???

Well since you ask, I bought a second hand CDR23 off ebay from a seller in California. Seller installs expensive after market DVD's etc....

The thing won't work in my MK1 GT3 but Porsche UK say if I can get the donor cars VIN they can reprogramme it. Seller has been asked to help trace VIN. After a couple of emails no luck, apparently the owner of the GT3RS from which this unit came is a one Will Smith actor esq. I think I'm being spun a yarn, particularly as I too thought that the GT3RS was not available in the USA. I wanted to know from you guys so that I can take a view as to whether to keep hoping or to cut my losses and put the unit back onto ebay.

I know this is a somewhat bizarre question but do any of you guys know whether the actor Will Smith owns a GT3RS :drive:

I will explain why I ask the question when I see whether anyone knows.

Like Greg I use mine mostly for weekends and the track. I do dirve it to and from work but speed humps and nose to tail traffice makes it a bit of a pain in the ars*. However, spot a gap in the traffic and a bit of open road and whey hey the noise and the GForce is intoxicating.

Don't wait any longer, go ahead and buy it- you won't regret it.

I think nearly all MK1's have a rough idle and so it's quite normal.:huh:

Not sure about th exhaust it may well be that it's an aftermarket one e.g. Cargraphic

Other Clubsport differences include nomex instead of leather seats, electrical cut out switches on tunnel and under bonnet, single mass flywheel and fitted fire extinguisher. Other than that there's no other differences that I am aware of.

Brake calipers going orange is not unusual, but suggests that the car has been used hard on a large number of occasions on track.
