Awesome pic of my GT3, unseen till now

[terryb]

I vaguely remember some guy taking pics of my car on route to the Nurburgring last year and have just found this today after searching google images for GT3 MR

I think it is a great pic. Hope you enjoy

Jeez, there's some serious camber on the front!

Lovely picture

I have taken mine out about four times so far since I bought it in April this year. Every time I seem to get through a full tank of fuel too

4 times since April... That's hardcore

Excuse my ignorance: MR?

ETA: Manthey Racing?

[terryb]

Yep, Manthey Racing. It's not an official monicker, but suits the car as it has loads of MR upgrades including the K400 kit

Oh, hang on. I don't mean four times to the 'ring! I mean four times out for a drive!
Done about 900 odd miles since I bought it!

Haha, I thought you meant 4 times to the Ring . That would have been nigh on every weekend

Great shot of the car & like the 'moody' clouds too.

Hi Terry

That photo is amazing! What wheels and size do you have on - look perfect for my project. BBS LMs?

Cheers

They look like Cargraphic 3-piece rims to me. I have a set with red centres I might be selling

Yes they are Cargraphic 3 piece rims. They were on the car when I go it. They're not the lightest set of alloys, so would like to replace them with a better set in the future. Any suggestions on the perfect trackday wheel?

OZ Alleggerita get my vote in 18" wheels. Very light & cheap enough at around £1500 that you won't be too precious about them. I use them for my slicks; I also have 2 sets of the 19" OZ Ultraleggera wheels for Cups & Supersports. My Cargraphics have race wets on but I'm thinking of not bothering with wets now.

I agree that Alleggerita's are nice cheap & light, but they don't come in the optimum sizes for the 6gt3 which is 9x18 ET 46 & 11x18 ET 59 .. only the achingly beautiful super rare & expensive E88's come in this size which is a real pain!

Nick, what size do you have of OZ's and do you use spacers, etc?

I have 9" ET43 & 11" ET63 in the 18". I use a 7mm spacer on the fronts and no spacer on the rear. Mine's a MK2 996 so they're pretty nearly the correct size / ET

For the 19's, I'm using standard GT3 7.1 sizes & offsets, again with the 7mm front spacer.

I also have a set of 9" / 11" E88 BBS's that are also for sale. Not sure of the offsets but I will try to measure them if you're interested. They came off my 993 Turbo.
