Yeah the Spyder roof doesn't curve up them down like a Cayman or Boxster roof. Still easily got my helmet under it in track days though.

Bragger!! [:-]

I knew that was coming[8D]

Good find like it a lot[]

Like the dark grey car. If 981 has humps, that's the colour for me - atlas grey maybe ? No humps, no 981 for me though!!!!

It's no humps and may just be called 981 (GTS?) Club Sport http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/hardcore-porsche-boxster-development-2016-launch

It's on the Porsche sheets as a Spyder and details are in April. Every thing else is made up hear say

Have any of you swapped the brake master cylinder for a GT3 one? I'm considering (without any other changes to fluid type, cooling ducts etc) in an attempt to get a more solid pedal over initial travel (I'm happy with ultimate stopping power on the road - steel disks). If you've swapped, I'd be interested to hear what, if any, changes were achieved. Thanks in advance, Steve

Have you played the computer game that the snapshot comes from. The handling doesn't do the car justice imho[]. Nice pics though

Just do it, it'll be the best change you've ever made £ for £, Not even worth discussing []

I am not sold on the mod, I changed my pads and bleed the system and am happy with my brakes on the R as much as one can be. the MC CANNOT and will not give you a solid pedal feel, it will give you a shorter travel as it moves more fluid. but it's nothing to do with the solid feel people are after. I would be looking at a Brake booster change if I were you with RS29 pads and a good bleed of the system. The MC just masks the underlieng issue imo, not fixes it. no one seems to want to change out the brake booster though :-( and my SPyder has PCCB's which have no issue at all, (and a different brake booster to the steel set up, and a MC inbetween the steel set up and a GT3 set up)

Strongly disagree MRD. It does give a firmer feel to the pedal. It doesn't give any better braking but it does stop that long pedal when you are really using the brakes. Doesn't need the Servo changing as it is perfectly good as it is. (Booster is the Americanism that people have picked up from a poster on PH ) Just try it and see what you think Steve.

Thanks for the thoughts. I guess I can understand MrD's logic (that the same performance is squished over a shorter length of pedal travel which doesn't get rid of any squidge per se), but can also see that the swap would mask the dead travel (in I guess the same way that the "Sport Chrono" function tightens the throttle response). Andy - is it safe to assume that you don't find the brake pedal too "jumpy" for road use / heel & toe? I haven't enquired about costs yet - have you guys got a ball park figure (ignoring fluid change, which I would be doing anyway) Thanks, Steve

Steve, it doesn't make the pedal jumpy in the slightest and it DOES get rid of the "Squidgyness". IMHO it makes the pedal perfect for the car. When I had mine done in October 2013 it was £302.31 + VAT for the MC part number 997.355.910.30. However I believe you can buy it as a TRW part for much less.
