How was Spa?
For me a solid engine mount on a car which is also used on road would be too much. Vibration and noise through the car would be extreme. Must people go with semi solid like the RSS or Wevo brands. What are you noticing that makes you feel you need to change?
As for the braided brake lines, I think Nick R told me once that the GT3 already has theses from factory. I've never changed mine but I expect some one will be along shortly to advise.
You coming to Oulton on Sat 18th October?

Cunno said:As for the brake lines they could be plastic for all I know, but never found the brakes on a GT3 wanting. Only issues have been wear rates and cracking which have been sorted with better discs and pads. I assume braided lines may stop peddle fade, but my car doesn't suffer from this so not looked at upgrading.

From what I've read and heard (from a couple of Indy's), the steel brake lines give a more solid feel to the brakes, it's just a case of improving what you have rather than fixing something that doesn't work very well. This is what I was thinking of going for http://www.design911.com/Porsche/99...Steel-Goodridge/pt66_203_-cma81-cmo117-ct344/

.... And how is your bank balance working out with that approach?
Roro said:Yes, Gen 2 had loads of great reliable gear, dynamic engine mounts, centre locks and front lift :?: :grin:
Are all brake lines on GT3/RS braided then, am I about to succumb to misleading Indys and marketing blurb? (sure won't be the first time, or the last!!)
