No not a dd,mostly pleasure & cruising around week/week-end.Plus 95% of ours Porsche are winter stored up here,so they don't see snow & salt.I'll say Porsche season here is from begining of May to early December.

Mooi Bas,

Some what lower would look even better. I think you can make the wheel et45. Combined with rolling the fenders that should do it.

i dont think you need to roll the fenders...just lower it and if needed dial in a bit of negative chamber...from the pictures it looks like its on positive chamber anyway...

Or- Lower it, roll the fenders, and set the car up with a decent alignment so that it handles properly, instead of going for the "hard parker" look...

you dont have to dial 60 deg of negative chamber...you can stay within factory spec and have the wheels tuck in at the top. however rolling the fenders might still be necessary.

You can buy clear indicator lenses but installing them is a bit tricky. You have to break the original ones and smoothen the edges so the new ones fit flush. I started with a hammer (!) and grinded the remaining amber lenses with a Dremel tool. Then you just glue the clear ones on. They really make a difference! I also painted the space between tail lights black. Most won't even notice it but it makes a nice touch too. Here's a link to a great little Porsche parts shop in Finland. This guy designs and makes some great high perf. parts. http://9xx-parts.com/store/index.php...product_id=894

I got the adjustable wing from RaceForFun in the Netherlands. If you're interested i can ask around a bit for you, just send me a PM!

I'm definately going to roll the fenders, maybe throw in an extra bit of negative camber in the rear, right now they're almost 0 or 1 is even 1 degree positive! But i'm not quite sure how to set the rear camber. I just revised my complete rear axle, but i'm still not quite sure what really sets the camber on the rear. The "bolt" that connects the swaybar with both sides has a kind of excentric setting which allows me to set the length of the carrier arm, but does it also affect the camber?

And ehh, PA, how do i make my rear rims ET45? because i'm really not going to mill of some of the rim..!!

Thanks for the tip Deuce. You haven't had any problems with the lenses not sealing perfectly and letting water into the hatch area?

bj - Nice 944 you have there. Great to see another aussie on here.
