"So - have you any winter plans?"
1) I plan on not working on the car at all , just enjoy it as is .
2) Eat lots of good food so that I fit better in the normal seats .
3) Spend quality time with a flesh and blood lady .

Hi Marc,

I plan to remove weight(from the car). It's the one thing that will enhance braking, handling, and acceleration. Different seats will figure into the equation, and though I dislike the thought of giving up the cloth sport seats which have proven to be very comfortable on long trips, I'll be looking for a compromise. I can always switch them back in, if the lwt seats prove too uncomfortable. Did you get a chance to try the Recaros?

Noah

Marc,

Dude you had better get going!
You winter list is looking like mine.

-You've been reading about my clutch replacement to factory specs.
-Top end rebuild in progress

Also:
-Change wheels studs to different length & install 15 mm spacers
-Get the RUF wheels cleaned up
-Rip off my back bumper and figure out why my hood doesnt close evenly? Fender bent? Who knows!
-Replace hood shocks
-Replace windshield (the inner and outer layers are actually seperating and turning milky!)
-Go over every inch of the hvac system/valving/tubes/motors/etc
-replace front 'grill', old one is broken
-remove front bumper and check out spare wheel well. Might be a dent there stopping my jack from sitting in place. No idea how that could be, but whatever.
-paint calipers
-update steering stop

Most of your stuff looks like more fun!

I already have the H4 headlights, H&R Coil overs, replaced turn signal assembly.

Where are you getting titanium brake shields?? $$ ??
Is your heat installed in the garage yet? Mine is going in tomorrow.

Kirk

Plans for the next few months include:

-Replace outer rims on 18" split rims + 4 new tyres (in progress)
-Replace sunroof seal (in progress)
-Repaint front & rear bumpers, side skirts and sharks fins
-Retrim cloth parts of seats and interior trim in dark grey Alacantra

Hi Jim,

Where are you getting that done ?
And if you don't mind, how much ?

Mine are in serious need of refurb/replacement.

P.s Nice to meet another Turbo body on here.

Rob,

The outer rims were bought from design911.co.uk for £89 each and my mechanic is doing the fitting for me. I had planned on fitting them myself but I want it back on the road ASAP and don't currently have the time to do it.

If you want to do it yourself there is a thread on the 964 Turbo board covering Speedline restoration which you should take a look at.

Me too as my regular days are filled with perfect female bodies made of resine and fiber glass... :roflmao:

no news from the Philippino front indycam?

albin.


more seriously,
-get rid of the servo pbs that allow heat to get into the cabin at all time...but can wait spring i guess.
-investigate further the Christmas tree effect and do the adequate tune up (it's seasonal though)
-have the doctor look at why i have a small burnt oil odor (seal of the camshaft that connect to the power steering???)...
-make the first pick up with my 964 :D

Jim,

Are these outer rims genuine speedline with the etchings on?

These are not genuine Speedline rims, they are aftermarket ones but I don't have Speedlines on my car anyway so I wasn't bothered.

Marc, can you say something more on those spacers, I've been looking into it but haven't decided yet. Which way are you going? Tx
Kris

Kirk:
Sadly - I am still waiting to get the heat in the garage.... The Ti brake shield are from Seine Systems and others here seemed to have good luck with them (no affiliation).

Noah:
Everything on my list has been purchased or ordered except the seats and roll-bar. I have not actually sat in the Recaros yet but I hear nothing but good things about them.

Kris:
Nothing fancy - it is the easiest job on the list. I'd put 5 mm spacers on the rear for looks but swapped them to the front when I noticed the front wheels rubbing. While it is a subtle change, I miss the 5 mm spacers on the rear so ordered another set (5 mm being max size you can safely put in without going to longer studs).

Marc
p.s. And Indycam - I plan to spend some time with my wife too. :)

Tx Marc, can you really see the difference, back or front, with the 5 mm spacers? Adrian's book is referring to 17 mm (with longer studs) as ok for some models in the back -to appear to fill up the arches-. What's keeping you back from going with this option? Beside the higher cost, have you heard of any other issues?

"no news from the Philippino front indycam?"
I got an email from her yesterday , I mised her 20th birthday .

"And Indycam - I plan to spend some time with my wife too. "
So the wifes gunna help work on the car ?

Kris - I think that cosmetically a wider spacer would look better but I would have concerns about trusting 40 bolts (rather than 20) at the track. I think there are problems with wheel bearing wear with very wide spacers too. I'd like to think I can see a difference with the 5 mm spazcers. :)

Indycam - nah, she thinks it's just another car so has no interest. :(
