Hi

I'm running 225/40/18 at the front. Are you running the same wheels ? Won't be taking them off until the spacers arrive but i'll try and remember and make a note.

Yes, mine are Gemballa too. I'm interested to hear how you get on with the spacers, I have considered having my arches rolled just for those extra few mm.

Peppa is looking fantastic! I have to say I agreed with your wife about the Orange Cups, but am loving the new look. Really nice orange details.

Interesting to read about your audio system updates, as it's something on my to do list.

Mine has just had similar bodywork and am also thinking about going for that Techart fog light / brake duct kit, really liked it on Frank's.

MMM - is there a thread on your new orange steed??????

Project Orange is still in Florida. Most annoying. I was hoping she'd be here for the majority of the summer but due to admin delays on the US side she missed the boat and the next one doesn't sail until the 21st July.

In the meantime at least I have Peppa and I'm loving the way she looks. But she and I were definitely looking forward to some sister action.

Hopefully she'll be on on the road in late August.

Peppa's refresh looks fab mmm & I loved the orange wheels on your car but also love the way you just went & got a a hole orange car instead as a compromise!!.....proper man maths thinking

Is that a 76 2.7? or a 3.o? Looks great.. you've really got the bug now huh?

I loved the Orange wheels too mate and I still might do the spokes but for now I'm trying to see if I can live without it for the next few months. Budget on cars is now well and truly blown but happy with the new wheels and paint. Maths never was my strong point. Let me try and explain below.

X = Bank Balance
Y = No of Cars
W = Wife
T = Trouble
If
X + Y + W <> T

and

X + 2Y + W = T

we can deduce that

X + 3Y = (0 x W) + (2 x T)

This might not be completely accurate as T is a constant.


Jack, she's a 1974 2.7 911 CIS Injection which makes her the base model but she came with a number of factory upgrade including Koni Suspension. She's had a full engine rebuild + new clutch and a complete brake system replacement 7000 miles ago, with brand new everything. Oil lines, injectors, fuel pump literally and reworked heads etc. I've got a copy of this bill and it was $17K

The idea was to buy an impact bumper car that needed nothing doing to it. Just drive and enjoy. we'll see...best laid plans and all that.

I like the new look very nice !

Mike, the cars looking good, quite the transformation...

New motor looks sweet and your man maths algebra is spot on!
