Lookin great....and a good interesting write up. do i call you loads a cash!!

q . do you know if the CL kit is compatible with a 996 tt? i love the look you are aiming for and am so envious, keep it up and looking forward to the additional magazine piece

regards frp

Unfortunately the kit is not. In fact this kit is only compatible with the 997 Turbo not even other 997s at least according to the literature. There re two kits, one for PCCB and one for standard discs. I understand the non PCCB kit includes replacement discs.

Do you know what is different about the replacement disks that comes with that kit? Are they PCCB's?

The kit for my car (with PCCBs) was like in the photo I have in my thread. There's a couple of parts missing from that photo as I hadn't unwrapped all the parts when I took it. Main part missing is the bearing. There are no replacement PCCBs as that would be too expensive and it's not required.

I was told that the CL kit for cars without PCCBs come with replacement discs. Not sure if that is 100% as there was a lot of confusion around this kit even from OPC themselves initially.
 
Great thread, looking forward to some future updates!

Is the dream all exterior/performance upgrades or do you have plans for an interior change too?

I have to admit that since I've had my gen1 turbo over the last few months I finally think its a keeper too!

The presence of centre locks on the 997 GTS proves that they can be fitted to a Carrera, though the parts kit may be different to that for the Turbo (that said, I cannot think how that might be).

I know what you mean, I'll rephrase, they only sell kits for the Turbo.

On Suncoast website (where I originally discovered it) they have listings for both available kits.

Well the CL kit was £1250 from Porsche. And it was 3 hours labour per wheel but the did the whole job for £2500 including cost of the kit which was cheaper than two Indi specialists quoted!

So you got the wheel and tyres for £3000? Sounds cheap. Was that new from an OPC?

No the wheels came from a GT2RS via teile.com. The tyres where the ones already on the car. I do plan to put Sport Cup 2 tyres on but not until I change the front wings so they will be covered properly.
