Hi and a happy new year to you all. First and foremost; thanks for all your positive feedback.

Just picked up my car from the paintshop and dropped it of at my mechanic. He will go over every nut and bolt to make sure that everything is working 100%
He will also install a Sinter clutch and a Rennshift gear shifter (read lots of good reviews about this upgrade). All fluids will be changed and the engine will undergo a full service



Looking forward to the spring. In my part of Norway we have -10C and 4 feet of snow.

By chance I was able to store the car at a small museum during the last part of the winter.




Got it home. Got new tires - Toyo888. Got to compete in my first AutoX with the car. Felt great

Spent last Saturday driving round Våler Race circuit (150 km north of Oslo).
It is fast, but in need of some corrections in regards to the brake bias, the suspension and the newly installed shift mechanism.
But... already as fast as my track prepared 993

After three sessions I was completely exhausted. That was hard work!!

Love the video. Long live the 914/6.
What are the gears in the trans? Did you leave them stock?
