Ah my inspiration smile They look fantastic Toby. I have a cheaper version of Tractive on the way 9e have helped spec.

Tractive have set up in UK.

I'm a bit confused, are those manual adjustment or straight plug into PASM/DSC if so what is the difference between them and the £7K jobbies ?

So identical to ACE dampers but the top mounts do not have the same level of adjustment as the older system with special top mounts etc and new 3d printed drop links for turbo. (I hope they make decent quality drop links in house first time round). Think my turbo first in UK to get.

How do you think an identical spec engine to yours would perform with my hybrid 62mm GT2 VTGs? They pull really well top end. Are your engine parts even still available?

So you have a specific DSC box to go with these new dampers ?

I'm not sure you can get much more power out of those VTGs with your race fuel, you are pumping out a good 700hp which seems about the limit, even the 991GT2RS with latest tech and bigger VTGs can't really maintain its 700hp just too much back pressure in the hot side heats everything up and makes 'em knocky.

Have a DSC so box will just need different software. Thought so on engine. Up to 130mph similar pace on normal shell v power. Only after this race fuel makes difference smile

After recent glass out respray. May go whole hog and GT2 her in signal or mint green. Maybe oak metallic green. Weiss Gold the BBS F1. Set of carbon buckets. Job done smile

How about creating the negative colours to the 997 GT2 RS with a silver bonnet?

Black with a touch of silver instead of silver with a touch of black!

Not a fan of the two tone hence if I do aero will do GT2 (not RS) and save on cost of cf wings, roof, bonnet.
