It's used primarily for autocross now, so any recommendations for replacement pads?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My '03 C2 with 12k on it is due for new brake pads. It's used primarily for autocross now, so any recommendations for replacement pads? The OEM Porsche pads have been great (brake dust aside), but what are the thoughts on Hawks or Akibonos? Who are your favorite vendors?
Also, I was thinking about that red silicone air intake to replace the stock baffled one. Who makes a good one, and any drawbacks?
Thanks,
David

I am asking for $190 for the front set and $140 for the rear set shipped to the continental USA. Payment via paypal gift preferred. PM if you are interested.

I have installed the silicone air intake hose along with a K&N free flow filter in the original air box and I did notice a difference. When You hit it you can actually hear the engine sucking air in! I got the silicon intake hose from MaxSpeed out of Canada and am pleased with it.
Bump to this thread guys!
I am putting my 997tt back together after some extensive works, I bought this
997 febi guibo
and compared it to the old one, seemed the same, so chucked it away...
Now I am actually onto rebuild I find that the fit is not perfect as with the OEM one. It has a gap between the metal sleeve and the locating machined hole in the tranny output. The only way to close it is bolt it up then it slightly distorts the Guibo...
Not good and I am thoroughly p*ssed off with the car at the minute lol
So does anyone know where I can get the
GAP01-002 part from? Has anyone else had a fitment issue with the Febi? DO I have the wrong Febi part maybe? or am I missing something... many thanks
