Stage three basically consisted of me dropping off the car with the ever-relaxed Craig at Buik Motorwerks (Adelaide Porsche motorsport specialist) and picking it up after lunch. He had a very knowing smile and commented that it was a 'very' quick street car. Quite a statement coming from him!
K04 + 4-bar FPR + tune = OhEmGee!
I'd love to say it was time for a slippery diff, but today I've signed a contract for our new house so it'll have to wait for some time yet.

greg, that braking shot is ffffing awesome. wish he'd snapped you just a bit more side-on.
p.s. shameless plug - if you need new discs/ pads (or for future replacements) i've still got my new-in-box shipment from GSL to offload for cheap.

Here ya goAccording to the photographer, I was actually about 50m from the apex (exiting) at this point so the brakes were cooling down.
Sadly, there isn't a well framed side on shot as it was getting dark so he couldn't use a really fast shutter speed.
As for the brake parts, I'd take you up on that but I'm in the process of acquiring a bigger front setup
