Hi Giuseppe!

We're very well thanks and still planning to move to Bologna! With a bit of luck we might even make it this summer!! How is everything with you and the family? I hope business is good too! I still need to get some of your lovely wine!

This is the thing, the car IS a keeper and I've decided I might as well spend some money on making it the car I really want it to be. I guess it would be good to have the extra flexibility of the V3's for the future, and I would like to track it at some point.

Hmm, new sway bars... I'll have to add those to the list!

Somebody said wine?!

That's great news! We can meet half way at Mugello. After going to the track there is a restaurant that has fantastic Fiorentina steak in Barberino and I'll bring enough wine to help you get over falling down the slippery slope I apologize in advance as I know I will not be a good influence...

Family is great and business is growing. We just got permission to open to the public as a restaurant which makes a big difference from just cooking for our guests so we're pretty busy.

Give us a shout next time your in the area.

Best of luck to all of you,
G

Oh yeah plenty of that to go around...

+a million!

Kwv3s are great on the road too, pot holes and all set them up soft and they're beautifully smooth. Hard and uve got a track day weapon, H&R sway bars are a must also... No sense not complimenting your new suspension with.... Just got my strut brace today... now even better, turn in is soo sharp major grin factor.

It'll transform your car, you'll rediscover the car all over again, in fact it'll almost feel like a different one, you'll also be rediscovering familiar roads as your cornering ability will be transformed... Especially after geo...

I recommend doing the work yourself with the help of a friend and a good set of tools, there are so many great guides that would be chimed in if you so desire. It really doesnt require mechanical know how. Bonus you'll save a grand in labour!

As said all over, depends on how much track time you intend?

boxsey911

Couldn't agree with you more and once you've asked yourself the question, how many times are you going to change the suspension, you might aswell pay the extra now and get the best

I firmed up the settings on mine a few days ago for a track outing at Donington park and she stuck to the track like a dream. This weekend I'll put her back to the road settings.

Andy Roe

OK guys..!!

Thanks for all your help on making me decide what to do. I've taken the plunge and ordered a set of KWV3s and some H&R sway bars. I already have a carbon strut brace and can't wait for them to be fitted to see how they transform the car!! I bought the car in 2004 and can't believe I've waited so long to do this!

Congratulations! You'll love them! Excited to hear your thoughts. Are you carrying out the work yourself?

Andy Roe

No, I don't really have the space to do it myself, or the time, but I would love to have been able to have a go at it! I need to have some other work done anyway including fixing some rust by the windscreen, a leaking oil pipe between the thermostat and cooler ($$$) and an aircon recharge, so I may as well have everything done at the same time!

I'll let you know when it's fitted with some obligatory pics too!

Next on the list some 18" wheels, but I'll wait until my tyres need replacing for that!

Congrats Andy, as others have said, you wll love them

Tuscany964

Well done! It'll be a night & day transformation. I know how much you already love your car but you will love it so much more. With regards to 18" wheels if you go down that road make sure you get them put officially on your logbook with the tyre sizes you want before you register your car in Italy and that they add them to your Italian logbook otherwise your car will be illegal here and there is no way of getting 18 inchers approved on non turbo 964's in Italy. PM me if I've been clear as mud.

Hey, how did your track day go - was there a thread I missed?!

Andy Roe

That's certainly good to know. I'll have to investigate it a bit more. It's not something I'm going to be able to do soon though so I guess I might be stuck with the Cup 1s, which is fine anyway! The tire ans wheel sizes are not listed in the french log book though, so I'm not sure it'd be possible to add them anyway.

stevepaa

any update?

Andy Roe

Yep. I've ordered some KW V3s plus some H&R sway bars through Ninemeister. They're going to send them to me next week and I hope to have them on the car mid-July (I'm going on holiday in between and I need to have a few other bits fixed as well - read "Rust and Oil leaks..").

I'll post some pics and feed back on my impressions of them next month!

Can't wait!
