Congratulations, I know that car's provenance and it is mint. It amazes me why so many people missed it. I think that it looks stunning in that colour.

I hope that you enjoy it.

Cheers Guys!

Thanks Steve I intend to. I am also surprised that nobody picked this car up before, I love the colour.(pics don’t do it justice) and it’s in immaculate condition! Will be taking it Parr Motorsport to change the front discs to the new grooved ones, upgrade the pads to Pagid rs 29's and have a full geometry set up.

I am going to change the tyres to a track-focused tyre. What do people recommend? I am thinking of

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup or
Pirelli P Zero Corsa

The car will be used for both track and road. I am leaning towards the Pirelli, as they are far better in the wet, specifically standing water. Also Michelin have just gone up in price!!!

Corsa R's are a very good option, i have gone to them from MSPC's on my GT3 and the difference is barely noticable, and they will last a lot longer. That added to the fact that as you say they are better in the wet, make them a no brainer IMHO.

Unless you are running two sets of wheels of course, then a stronger case could be made for the MSPC.

I have been reading up on the Steve Rance trackday manual !!!

I am starting to know some of the pages off by heart now !!!


It's the bit covering Eau Rouge that i am finding hard to digest at the moment though

Nice!

The GT3 MK II has got to be the best looking 996 variant ever.

Mark, you're better off going for the Pirelli Corsas which will provide 95% of the grip, much better wear and be useful in the wet. Unlike with our CSLs at least you can get them in 18" sizes.

Best to give Dave Blackley at Elite Garages a call, he's been supporting GT3 drivers at recent trackdays.
