Leading evidence: 'Use ranged' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run rubber' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

And this won't include extra tires and wheels to run the rubber to be competitive.

Oh and I don't know if this is significant, but I use 15/50....

We're all using the X51 oil pan successfully to date.
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.

Vali Predescu of So Cal won the GTS3 National Finals yesterday at Miller Motorsports Park in Salt Lake City. Vali qualified second behind a 3.6-996, but passed him halfway thru the race. The 996 Spec runs a stock motor & trans with a stock ECU. Here's the Spec for those interested:
http://996specracing.com/The_Spec.html
In the GTS3 class there were the 2 Porsche 996's, 6 M3's, 3 Mini Coopers, a 3.2-911, and a VW-GTI
Congratulatios to Vali and a great win for 996's over those pesky M3's....
You guys might be surprised at how reasonable (in Porsche dollars) the entry price is for a 996 Spec car. With donor cars in the low 20's to high teens, you can have a pretty badass race car for ~$40k, maybe less.
Yeah, well I said in Porsche dollars. And besides no one in their right mind adds up the cost of trailer, tow vehicle, tires, brakes, hotel rooms, compensatory kitchen remodel,...
you guys are PW'd
I bought my P-car without telling my wife and drove it home on Mothers day no less....
after she flipped me off twice, she even went for a ride, all the time asking "for real?, you bought this?" followed by the repeated "Bullsh^t" comment.....
I wear the pants in my house !!
my wife does seem to have a growing pile of Italian shoes though ????
hahahaha -
sorry OT -
OK.... awe.....spec car budgets.......... mine would be a spec moped <50cc class
We have 4, 3.4 cars running out West. We're all using the X51 oil pan successfully to date. I've yet to see any pressure loss in turns but you never know. I will probably install a Accusump in the off-season...
Oh and I don't know if this is significant, but I use 15/50....
Funny... My car was compensation for a breast lift (for her, not me)... That's what they call a "win-win-win" situation... and I got it before she could change her mind (about the car...)

...or on a base car that's ready to fall apart, leak, or blow!
I'd think they are around $20,000 in parts to get the car rolling within the rules, without any labor included to install these parts. And this won't include extra tires and wheels to run the rubber to be competitive.
Motons = $5000
LSD = $3000
cage = $3000
seat = $500
brakes = $600
sways = $600
cat bypasses = $500
springs = $300
1 set of tires (last a weekend hopefully) = $1200
alignment = $300
GT3 control arms = $900
steering wheel = $300
decklid wing = $800
front spoiler = $600
cool air intake = $200
and if you really want... decking the heads of the engine to bring it to spec compression ratio = $5000
This is interesting. I've raced for 20 yrs in SCCA and am now interested in the Spec996 series. Can somebody give more info on this:
Motons : Which setup? Club Sport? because Moton race are far more.
LSD: Guard or Porsche? What ramps are used?
springs: What rates are most running and w or w/o helpers?
GT3 control arms: front only?
decking the heads: whats the spec CR?
I saw the oil pressure drop in 4 different 996s in turns on track (and 2 on the street as well). One with an X51 pan and no other mods, didn't seem to make a perceptible difference on the gauge. Drop to 2-2.5 bar-ish on the gauge. Oil used ranged from 0-40 to 15-50. One of the engines was remanufactured with fewer than 50k miles, others ranged from 50-105k miles on factory engines if I remember correctly. I don't know how much pressure should be considered "too low", but I certainly didn't like seeing the gauge dip...
I've got less than $40k in mine. I "built it myself", but I really didn't do all that much. Installed the suspension, third radiator, stripped the interior, and did a lot of the little stuff (fire system, kill switch, QR wheel, ...). The cage was of course done by a pro, and I paid pro prices for it. I don't think anyone who has seen and/or driven my car, and there are quite a few LSR instructors who have, would consider it anything close to a "hack job". It's not fully evolved, and I need to still drop some weight from it, but it's out racing and a blast to drive.
For those interested, here is the current Spec:

Agreed, doesn't make any sense to keep that one weak link GT3 control arms, Tarret drop links and toe links, and 700/900 springs over revalved Bilstein PSS10's.
Monoballs are on the discussion table for 2010....
I'll try and take a peek in T2, high speed, banked left hander, at Cal Speedway this weekend though taking my eyes off the banking at 140+ is iffy. I need to install that AIM oil presure sensor I bought about 6 months ago....
Current Spec shocks are PSS10's though we're talking to Moton and JRZ. The targeted range w/springs is under $4k for the non-remote 2-ways from either manufacturer. We'll see....
FWIW, my build is under $20k parts & labor. The build is pretty simple, they're just like a Spec Boxster. Here's a link to the Spec:
http://996specracing.com/The_Spec.html
PS: My wrench (Speed Gallery) builds them turn key, ready to race w/new motors, diff's, etc. for $45k....
