Egypt
and believe me when as say that there is only 12 porsches in all egypt, yes only 12 , and they are all 2005 boxters and cayennes, and you really don't want to know how expencive there parts are here, almost 10 times more that the retail price in usa or germany ...
so porsche will be my last option and if i have to, i will order it from usa or germany, but the spare parts and usual maintanance items will be an issue then...
we have here a lot of hondas, bmw, mercedes, lancers, corollas, 4x4 jeeps and opels, so they are the easiest option that i've got.
i guess any heavy car's brakes will do(SUVs for example), because they are big enought, and i want to know is there any way i could make the adaptor custom made ???
any more thoughts??
thnx,

Michael

I would say talk to Lanner (VdubCustoms-link in the link page). Havent done any buissness with them, but from what i hear he is a very experienced guy and willing to help. Only problem is that he is in Canada...

Dont take my words for granted since i dont know Lanner and havent dealt with him...Im telling u what ive read here...

Lanner is da man! If you have those types of cars there in abundance. Go with those type of brakes.

I've seen his work and met him in person. Good guy with exceptional work.
