now that you guys are talking about sailboats... this is my 50 feet, constructed myself ( and with prof's of course ) .
We were in the Med a few years and now stop sailing ... for sale . ( bought a motor boat )
Nice boats !
It's actually my father-in-law's boat, they took it out to the sea for the first time this week !
Hopefully we'll go out a few times this summer !

These are old F1 rear hubs, the rest of the car was completely destroyed I believe.
I'll use them to test my vapor-blasting setup and once clean and good looking I'll probably sell them because I have no room for them :/
My 928 will be in the shop by the end of the month !
Did a trackday yesterday, with the mini...
There was a 928 S4, very very fast ! Both in the corners and in the straight ! I can't wait to have mine on track !
You're doing a great job Ben! There is less and less Porsche 928 on the roads and even less on tracks... Looking forward cornering with you with your nice baby!!!

I got the lift in the shop !
Next step is getting rid of the red 928.
But before, I have to fix the blue gemballa 928 as there is a problem on the clutch hydraulic system... I hope it's not the master cylinder...
I love them, they are SERTA wheels, made in France in the 80's
But they are 16"... more on that later...
i received the S hatch... but it got damaged during transport...
Good news is that i should be able to bolt the S spoiler on my S4 hatch without much trouble. Just have to plug and paint the old S4 wing holes.
I finished my mobile desk... So i started 3D scanning a lot !
Et voila !
Today, with all the scans i did, I was able to establish a plan for the big brake kit !
I had a few options ! in stock I have : S4 spindles, S spindles, 997 calipers, 970 rear calipers.
i wanted to keep the discs under 330mm to fit the 17" cup1... but after hours of trying and fiddling, I couldn't fit the 997 calipers with the 330mm discs on neither of the spindles...
So I tried with 350mm cayenne discs... and I can make the calipers work on S spindles with 350mm discs !
After designed the adapter bracket, I printed one and tested it to confirm.
So... that's the route I'll take, 997 S front calipers in the front on S spindles, with Cayenne 350x32mm discs.
I have 5x130 aluminum hats, I will check if i can use them with 350x32 friction rings, but the cayenne discs are so much cheaper that it's a no brainer ot start with.
that means I have to sell the cup1 and Sarta wheels... but hey, more money for the rest of the car !
Cup1... rubbing...
panamera wheels, perfect !
Another solution would have been rear Panamera 970 calipers on the S4 spindles with 330 cayenne discs ! Looks like it should fit directly !
i'll order the discs and have all the adapters printed and check fitment one last time before starting production of the adapters. I don't think i'll make much, it doesn't seem like it will be a conversion a lot of people would do.
I have to order the stainless tubes for the exhaust too, with flatter mufflers.
Total cost, around 350€.
Still Cayenne discs, 330x28
I'm not a fan of the first version, I'll refine it tomorrow.
I was confronted to a problem, how to thread 12mm lever straight by hand ?
Here was my solution :
It worked perfectly ! I don't even need to chamfer the shafts before starting, the tool catches straight right away and the thread is cut very fast !
My CNC router is almost finished too. But there is 3months of shipping...
