POR3513 lowering springs and Unknown shocks (can't see any markings). Does any one know what they are?

Looking for an original steering wheel. I have a 930s wheel and boss if you're interested. Like the RUF ones.

Tiaan, our cars must have had the same owner type as it also had an Aitiwe 930S wheel when I bought it. Too large and soft for the track. I really like the OEM wheel so I'm going to look for one locally. I'll see if there is more than one in NZ if you like. I'm back in Sydney in July.

Left hand rear indicator sourced. That's all the rear lights sorted. Not perfect but usable.

Apparently these shocks are likely the original Boge units. 25 years and 238,000km means they are likely to need replacing. I think I'll go with Bilstein B6.

The odometer went off to be fixed today. Then I cleaned up my garage to try and find the rear decal I took off the white car. Success. The lesson of the day is never throw anything out.

Shocks have been sourced. Spare rears off a local Rennlister and fronts from a local vendor. On the latter's advice I won't buy new springs.

How quickly could springs really wear out?! People only change them to change ride height.

I'm not sure. I thought springs and shocks had to be matched. He said for the road it's more about the shocks.

Certainly they should be matched. I was saying they wouldn't really wear out that quick. Not like shocks.

Heaven help us if the Australian import rules change because without the competition we are pigs in mud. Clay bar and sealant. Replace a very worn clutch pedal and admire what must be very recently refurbed gauges

Odometer fixed and back in the car. It wasn't the usual stripped gear problem. They said it was gummed up so they just cleaned and lubricated it.
