Once I upgraded the fluid all was good again. Here's a link: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...rs-home-5.html I'll be at Sebring both days in April, and you are more than welcome to jump in for a ride if you have the time. Several of my other Porsche friends will be there as well and you can get everyone's opinion/advice (I usually have a Porsche Gold Meister mechanic with me as well). Just remember, "brakes are overrated, use them sparingly" LOL. I'll admit turn 7 at Sebring requires good brakes, but I don't hit them until I see baby Jesus. Definitely give Bob at Vortex motorsports a call, he's a great guy and a wealth of knowledge.

BTW, anyone else headed to Sebring this weekend for the 12 hour? Look us up, we will be at turn #1 in the North Paddock. PM me if interested in meeting up.
Swatdoc, Bob no longer works at Vortex. I have his number if anyone needs to get a hold of him though.

I will be a the Sebring April 18th event too...do we know each other? I use to run a white 07 Carrera S and usually pit down by 17 with Bob and the guys.

I will also be at the 12hr Sebring race walking around so yeah I'd like to meet up and hang with you guys at turn 1.
