Three Wheelin'
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 !

I'm sure there are a lot of these broken around here !
This is my solution, I'm proud of it !
I also found the culprit of all of this 928's problems... check valve was completely clogged !
Cleaned the inside a bit...
I received the steel to make my mobile desk so I can 3D scan inside the shop easily !
Once done I'll start this one.... a bit more ambitious but very useful !
Today I take possession of my new delivery vehicle
I'll also use it on the track when the 928 can't go!
I received the 3D scanner !
It can scan idiots...
As well as cars !
I still have to practice but so far it's pretty good !
Today I'll move the lift to the shop when the rain stops !

That sounds like a good way to spend a day ^^
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...

You should scan the fog/driving light bezels. For a Euro those are unobtainable here in the US

Sooooo,
Here are the wheels I got for 50bucks !
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€.

And here is the rear !
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...

Oh boy you have stuff to catch up on !
I should get the machine soon !
The front brakes are validated, and the adapters are getting machined soon !
Perfectly centered.
The rear is validated too ! With 330mm cayenne discs... the hand brake is not working anymore, but it's a track car now, I don't care.
Et voilà :
I have to sell the CUP1 and the SERTA 3 pieces wheels too... I only keep the Panamera wheels. If anyone is interested in Europe ?
