Thank you sir! Always challenging to mount something different in the cars. Looks like you have plenty of adjustment! Appreciate the photos and notes!

Thibault worked well !! the clutch is complete.







The car has not driven for 5 months !! And when restarting, a seal on the intake plenum leaks !! 2 € 74 the joint !!! The 4 are ordered and we can do the last road test.

It's Friday a.m, so a short trip to Castellet Car Motorsport to examine the "grandmother" on her lift,


The front discs are mounted.



All the transmission translax is reassembled; we take the opportunity to shoot the details that are difficult to visualize with the flat bottom mounted.










waiting for its gaskets from the intake plenum !!!!They will arrive on Monday.

The 968 made its first turns after the upgrade. Thibault Fournier validated his interventions. Tomorrow a.m I will try it one last time before it is stored at Castellet Cars Motorsport pending the closing of its sale.

SOLD !!!! I brought it back from Holland in August 2015; it had been booked since mid March, and it will leave with its new pilot next week ....... and thus will leave France for new adventures "on the track".

I'm pleased for you that the sale went as hoped for, but I also know there is a kind of sadness that goes with saying goodbye to a car with so many memories.
Enjoy your touring!

March 12, End of story clap !!!!
She left in a beautiful closed Trailer to her new home




Coach towed by a superb Dodge RAM. It needed room to load everything !!!!








The new owner is very, very nice. Having hosted him with his friend the transporter, we had a beautiful evening, lively and rich in sharing for Porsche enthusiasts. He will pamper it and reserve it for track days ... Spa, Zolder, Nurb, Hockeneim, in short, beautiful circuits. We will perhaps see an opportunity to meet in Dijon which he likes.

Agreement concluded !!! Deposit paid, we will get it on May 25. 1070 km one way and 1070 km return! Fortunately, on a trailer.
This Z3 M was well known because I had raced against it in 2017 and 2018 in GT Classic. And it gave a hard time to my 968 Turbo RS, barely 1 "faster on MC F1. But it is true that the 968 came out of a very chaotic year of maintenance and did not have all the current CVs. Today, the 968 would be 3 "faster !!

Sign of fate for this handover, this photo ........ which closes this long post on this 968

Huge thanks to yourself and the previous owner for sharing (all) through the years.
What a machine she's been!
best wishes on your future car adventures.
