UK guys i thinking hiring bruntingthorpe for a few people for a couple of hours. I will be testing and data logging new engine. It wont have the speed traps or medical team but that shouldn't matter. I'll bring my ax22 so you can measure your actual speed 0-60 0-100 quarter mile times etc. Let me know who is interested, numbers will be limitted.

If my car ever comes back, I'd be up for it. What's the cost likely to be? Any date in mind?

I'd be up for it too (in a standard car).

James / UV? your car was one of the reasons I brought one!

James,
have you posted elsewhere?
and also do you want me to send to my personal email list? Only 965 owners, or any old Porsches/ sportscars?

Only posted here as numbers will be small. I cant run a full vmax because i will be doing my fair share of ripping up the run way. Would be nice to have a collection of 965 thought. Once I have numbers of people interested i'll trim if necessary on first come first served basis.

Oh, if you send the email list that would be good, thanks.

I'm off to pick my car up from Northway now, literally. I did what you said James and got all the gear from Steve, intake, exhaust, HFS, fuel head, EBC (which hasn't actually come yet) and LM1 AFR gauge. They've taken it out and it apparently pulls well, it's only boosting to 0.9 as the spring in the wastegate is probably a bit weak and it's running in the mid 11's AFR so plenty rich for 1.0bar when the EBC comes, it's had a thorough service too including valve adjust so it should be nice and responsive. I'll start a tread on the 930 board later after i've driven it, i'll book it in to GForce to see where it is straight after i get the EBC on and we can do a comparison from where it was with the 9m set up, should be interesting!

I'm absolutely in for the Brunters trip, DO NOT LEAVE ME OUT!! Please don't do it between the 21st of December and the 6th of Jan though as I'm in Goa and i'll never speak to you again!

Guys i'm going to limit numbers to 10 at most let me know if any of your mates want in. As mention before it wont be the full vmax setup and I need trusted friends not to dick around especially for safty reasons. As soon as I have something near 10 interested I'll get it organised. So far I have me my dad (possibly), JBL, ???????
