Carbon Ceramic brakes on my 964 Turbo RWB Porsche 911 - Part 3

I finally get back onto the rather complex engineering exercise of fitting a combination of 991 GT3 & 997 GT3 carbon ceramic brakes to my 964 Turbo Porsche 911. Martin has done an awesome job of machining the brackets from billet aluminium, and there are just a few more little engineering issues to overcome which you'll see in this video.

Going to all that effort for not having brake dust is the most Phil Morrison thing ever

[@driftworks]

🤘😆

[@gafrers]

Exactly what Driftworks was missing: Professional Machining (CNC and Manual). Thanks to Martin for it. Brilliant Episode

[@driftworks]

Thanks. Martins been featured before. Check out the older Murcielago episodes where we made the ITB setup.

[@leandroonishi5600]

32:30 is the moment everyone hopes to see in every driftworks videos. Phil shredding his bad ass builds!!!

[@HARDMAN999]

Sent it 😄 then some risky turn out in traffic with it aswell 😆

[@driftworks]

Haha 🤘

This is what really gets me hooked to Driftworks; the fabrication of 1-off things! I really appreciate it. The Lamborghini fabrication was amazing. From the carbs to the knuckle

[@driftworks]

Thanks 👍

[@UnexplainedHoveringSpheroid]

Well that came together well. They look the part and certainly won't lack stopping power. One more thing that makes your 964 a unique example. My Monday evening thanks you.

[@driftworks]

Truly customised and it’s your optimism that shines through, great work- great team- Great banter. 👍✋

[@driftworks]

Cheers 👍

[@teamgimps]

Another great OCD attention to detail video! Brakes look awesome and yellow suits the whole car! You are gifted Phil, don't ever loose your over the top (maybe some peoples opinion, not mine) attention to detail. It's what makes your cars spectacular. Can't wait for more Porsche and V10 bmw DRIVE videos now......

[@driftworks]

Thanks man 👍

[@boldst6]

Amazing attention to detail! Well done!

[@driftworks]

Thank you!👍

[@BurpleRX7]

Never really been a fan of Porsche and there “design team” BUT I have been growing into them, for me though that’s the daddy, the old wide bodied widow makers were just perfection, especially with the Japanese touch. Would love to own one one day

[@nevaloseheart]

Just bought a 997.1 turbo after years of M cars... I get the Porsche thing now. I love it. Need some wheels and an exhaust now!

[@driftworks]

Nice! 👍

[@casinogeno1]

This is the peak of porsche. Love this model!!

Great watch! amazing Engineering skills! My heart sank when I spotted the CSL outside at your house tho! She needs a cover :)

[@driftworks]

Thanks. It's a car. It doesn't always live there. Why does it need covering?

[@TopLobster1]

Driftworks ah that’s ok then, I thought she lived outside! Well to keep the dust and rain off her 😎👍🏻

[@sparkplug964]

great work on the brakes, I never want to go there. Love that 911, just looks so epic, and it's got the performance to back-up them looks.

[@tazionewsome4245]

Martin's on TV. I never thought I'd see the day. Looking at the brake hangers he made I think he's a jeweller, not an engineer.

[@driftworks]

😆

[@tomtht3355]

Work of art those carrier brackets. Would keep an eye on torque of bolts due to thermal differences between alloy and steel bolts 👍🏻😎

[@garyhowe4961]

Nicely done, top job & look forward to seeing more Porsche mods 👍

[@driftworks]

Calipers look awesome 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@driftworks]

Thanks 👍

[@silversmoke06]

Id seriously recommend a hydraulic flare tool for brake pipes, Jay would love you for it and the results are much easier and much more consistent if you guys are use it its well worth it. Awesome as usual.

[@driftworks]

We so rarely do this, but I'll mention it to Craig so we can hopefully borrow it occasionally once he buys it 😄

[@FlintstoneJF]

Thanks for another really great video on your 964 :)

[@driftworks]

No worries, thanks 👍

[@shannonobrien5798]

The most expensive way to keep your wheels free of brake dust 😂 love it Phil 🤙🏼

Superb job!! removing unsprung is massively important, though not noticed by all it does show in pro driver lap times. Give us a review on the different feel compared to the steel setup please.

[@driftworks]

[@blataquad]

Hi DriftWorks, it's me again George. Just wanted to say that I've loved this Porsche build for ages, but now I love you too haha jokes

[@blataquad]

Also, can you show us what the old gold Porsche calliper would look like? So we've got a good comparison. But in my honest opinion, those yellow calipers look fucking mad I wouldn't even change them for red ones

This used to something like this at school! Machining was really cool!, CAD had my preference, so that's my occupation now.

[@driftworks]

[@NicolaasPhotography]

@@driftworks the classic gold with the brembo logo could look really cool. Only thing is, you've got wheels that have a gold ccentre. Might become a lot of gold..

[@Deftonesdsm]

Looks great. I love random "make it work" conversions.

[@driftworks]

👍

[@MrSpaz12]

That brake disk is just stunning. For a mere 2 million (less than an F40) you can get a printer that prints several types of metal including aluminum and I believe titanium. Fascinating how they work, but for myself I'll be waiting until they get into the thousand dollar range. 🙂

[@driftworks]

😄

[@jamest5149]

The odd castor angle the shocks are in is for drive shafts as you mentioned. 👍

[@driftworks]

[@robboy18]

This video was excellent. I love cars but don't know a lot about the engineering, but this was really informative. I think now I'll try and fit Ferrari brakes to my BMW. Sounds dead easy! :-)

[@driftworks]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@sprintermaximus]

Badass as always. Need a kit for my 996. Lol. Nope, kidding. Still rad though. I'm thinking the yellow caliper it's good as well.

[@driftworks]

996 is an easy bolt on 👍

[@PixelVogue]

Love it, keep them yellow!

[@driftworks]

Thanks. I will. I really like them like this.

[@hurst_luke]

Great work as usual. When someone says it can't be done that's usually enough motivation to make it happen. Another reason not to do kits. Keeps your car exclusive.

[@driftworks]

👍 Cheers

[@doddsy68]

enjoyed the spicy launch

[@driftworks]

🤘

[@Freshiemaster]

Looks freaking amazing! Chance of stones getting stuck between caliper and wheel? Guess 10mm space would mean it would need to be a big stone!

[@driftworks]

Thanks.10mm is a reasonable amount. I'm not concerned.

[@wrxzboost]

Thanks 👍

[@gen1c8rs88]

To much tire stretch can cause handling issues, just so you know Phil 265 on 10's, 315 on 12's are the reasonable choice(maximums😉). Feel free to give me advise on giving you advise. Your(our) 964 is ace 🤔😏

[@driftworks]

It seems fine so far, but I'd like a size up again eventually. I like a little stretch on a track car generally.

[@fezza6853]

[@ArkaynAdrian]

It is weird I turned up the PC speakers and sat close to the sub to feel as close to as being in the car with Phil on the pommy roads in the RWB goodness? Either way, don't care cause over engineered as OCD as me RWB is the goodness I needed on a crappy work week. Thanks DW!

[@driftworks]

Haha, no worries dude 🤘

[@jamest5149]

Imagine the work that went into fitting PCCB’s on my E60 M5.... as you said at the end of the video, it’s ‘just’ and a long list of ‘just’s!’.

[@driftworks]

I can imagine!

[@lolacaitlin]

Great video again Phil, did you manage to get some 996 /997 rear discs? 👍

[@driftworks]

Not yet, I have access to some, but they are a lot of money so I wanted finish the fronts first.

That simple breakdown at the end 😂

[@driftworks]

😄

[@HEKTIC458]

Such a cool car

[@driftworks]

[@SaqibKhaliq]

Great video. Not stupid to do all that over some brake dust.. it's a great idea, a bit costly but not so much on a car worth that much.

[@driftworks]

Cheers 👍

[@austinellefson8987]

Love to see you like Finnegan’s KZbin channel

[@driftworks]

He's one of my faves. Long time Roadkill fan.

[@conorkelly8]

And here I thought Phil would be too sleep deprived and busy changing nappies to finish the brake conversion 😂

[@driftworks]

I am, but I lie away at night thinking 'I need to finish that'

[@hevendranarayansamy2793]

The metal working skills that you guys possess is awesome. Well done..question aluminum brackets for the calipers are strong enough? Would like to have bigger calipers and rotors on my e36 m3 evo. And 6 weeks on the hoist. Did you leave the battery on charge? Well done Phil

[@driftworks]

We use aluminium for all brackets. The BBI uprights themselves are aluminium. It's 7075 grade.

[@jamest5149]

I love PCCB’s, period. They look awesome behind those wheels.... leave the PCCB yellow 😇

[@driftworks]

And me. I'm keeping them yellow, they look great.

[@pauldargue]

[@driftworks]

[@eko89er]

I'm left with a dumb smile on my face after every video. Awesome work! I do have a question though: I saw you have a radio in your Porsche, and it looks fairly modern for the car. Have you given a thought of getting the PCCM from Porsche? (It is quite pricey, so I would understand it not being on your list of to-do's)

[@driftworks]

I have. It's too much for me to justify seeing as I can't hear anything when driving anyway.

[@quest8795]

They look the part and I'm sure they have more than enough performance for a lightweight car like that. Are you going to change the rear brakes to carbon ceramic too? The higher friction coefficient at the front will move the brake bias further towards the front, unless you change the master cylinder to adjust the pressure towards the rear more. Just a thought, I'm sure you don't want another brake headache just yet lol

[@driftworks]

That's the plan, although the PCCB are a lot more balanced than what was on there before. The bite & ratio on the old calipers was way out of balance.

[@quest8795]

@@driftworks sounds great! What will you be doing with the old calipers? Keeping them as spare, or selling them?

Looks awesome mate- I’m the same fitting Lamborghini brembo Ceramic calipers to my E46 M3 with custom mounted 390x36mm Audi RS6 discs - plus custom pads and mounting brackets- oh and the 2mm wheel clearance and static wheel balance as the wheel weights have to be moved to clear 🤣🤣- but fuck they look immense

[@driftworks]

I bet they do, are they Gallardo brakes?

[@paulpalmer8235]

Driftworks yes gallardo and Huracan ceramics also found on the Audi R8 V10

[@whome5810]

Are those RWB fenders? They don't look like your typical horrible RWB hatchet, rivet and glue job! These fenders look great!

Yes, it's one of the earliest cars built in Japan. It's called a smoothfender.

[@whome5810]

@@driftworks Looks great! Much nicer than the Blue Peter crap they seem to do now.

👍 They do, but it's extremely minimal.

Possibly a little late now, but would it not have been easier to buy low head cap head bolts rather than machine standard ones down? Nevertheless, great episode and looks incredible :)

[@ecarasig]

Phil, please save the native CAD files of the adapters for when I sell my house and my wife leaves me for buying a 964 turbo. This way I can buy adapters from you and do this swap in the new parking lot where I will live. So much drool on the bits that are on this car! So, with the American 5 lb drop in the brake setup and the ??? lb drop in the BBI knuckle and coilover setup how much weight do you think you lost in the front corners compared to a stock 964? Curious to see your track impressions.

[@driftworks]

😄. I'm not sure what the total change would be. The wheel and tyre are obviously about twice the size as a standard car.

[@LowFastFamous]

Did you get the rear ones fitted as well?
