Ironically, the check for the S-Calipers came in the mailbox the same day my new Excellence arrived. :D
Congrats on the nice write-up in Excellence!! (now go do your homework!).
Calipers will be shipping tomorrow.
I want to go for a ride next time I'm in town.
E.
Thanks.:D Glad you liked the article.
Those calipers will look so great that I will have to get a follow-up article and mention Eric aka Neunelfer.;)
No homework to do- I just graduated last Saturday: Salutatorian, 4 year awards in Calculus, Science, Social Studies, etc.
I start a job on June 4 after my Geburtstag on the 3rd. (I have to pay for the calipers somehow:p :rolleyes: :) )
The car is so much fun! As for the ride, you got it. Just let me know when you'll be around.:D :cool:
Hey Max . . . you holding out on me? Can't wait to read the 'article' in Excellence . . . whenever it arrives :rolleyes:
Regards,
We need to go for a drive sometime. You are out of town on business this weekend, right?
Right-on Bud! That's the most important stuff to have in "print". You'll love the calipers. (I hope) :DQuote:

Was this an article on transforming M calipers to S. I will definitely buy that one as a new owner of S brakes.
No, M calipers cannot be changed to S unless your a nuclear physicist and can change Iron to Aluminum.;)
The car has original 1971 911S calipers with the original Ms in the rear. I just bought some beautifully restored S calipers from Neunelfer to relpace the "tired" fronts.
I guess I should have stated transplanting. I still think that would make an even better article. There are many of us that desire to put S calipers on a T, but can't justify the $2000 end result.

I think the article was about a Dad (I hate your Dad BTW) :D handing over the keys to an ultra-cool, ultra-light 911S and having a son at such a ripe young age that actually knows what to do with said car. ;)
Regarding getting S-Calipers on your T; it's quite simple:
Get some 3.5" struts (Vintage Koni's or Bilsteins if you want it to be period correct... later SC Boge's if you don't care) and bolt on the S-Calipers.
I know where there's a mint pair of Koni struts for $500 and S-Calipers will go from $300-$?,???.00 depending upon the condition. Search S-Calipers here so you understand what you might be getting into. Most have rusted pistons. They aren't getting any cheaper.
Back to your regularly scheduled praise for the nice article. :D
My dad has a blast riding with me. He thinks he got a pretty good deal. I can go a little faster than he can.:D ;)
