No, I think Paul declared it a bogan free day. You are safe. It will be good to see you back out there, and great advertising for Rennsport Gruppe. PCNZ members are seeing a lot of us lately. We certainly were prominent in the latest Spiel Mag. Probably thank Paul for that.

Found the page https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...procedure.html
According to those instructions I need 7, 9 and 11 mm flare wrenches. Super cheap only had 9 & 11mm. Looks like I can wait to find the 7mm, as I don't need it for the brake calipers.

The 7mm is for the locks.
I have found poor quality flare wrenches to round off the bleed nipples when they are seized where as a ring end won't.
Must say the clutch didn't like being pressure bled, had to do that manually.

Thanks. Alignment and ride height setting on Thursday with Pete Adler. I'll drive it out to HD on Saturday. Simon wants me to take video of the racing and I have arranged a media pass to get the vantage point , but not sure I want to spend 3 hrs in the rain stranded in the outfield. We'll see. Let's hope it's dry. The girls may be coming as well, albeit sitting in the comfort of the apartment.
After that I'll repaint the calipers. I've ordered the decals from the UK. No hurry. I've also got plans to take the guts out of my spare cat to release some more power. If Doug does arrive on Z221s I'll be pushing it to keep up. I do plan to take out 1.19.64 though

No need for those anyway, a ring end will do the same job.

^^^^^.
Hey Macca, I will try and load a video on here but it could take some time. I can see exactly what you are saying and the comparison with my lines is illuminating. We can certainly learn from the videos. I keep everything on but should , I suppose, try with everything off when I get a chance and a clear track.
I try both ways around 10 and generally find double apex is best . Get to 145 kph at the end of the rumble strip.
See you all soon. Cheers Neil

That's my conundrum, full gut and rebuild will make it too nice to abuse but then if I half **** I won't be happy....go figure.

Count me in - I'll be out even if only to set a wet lap time. If Matt G can make it that'll be close to filling out the leaderboard

Thanks Neil. Ive looked at 4-5 laps footage and getting 149/150 kmph there. Doesnt seem to change much between double apex and tightening radius as you say although the footage of me chasing the Gulf 964 around the sweeper (tightening radius) was the quickest with a fractionally higher exit speed at the end of the rumble strip. I think the tightening radius option is the easier to get consistent with. Where I was loosing time was infield corners 3 and not getting off the brake earlier on 1. I think with one I have a bad habit of braking hard and late but this doesnt allow much trail braking to keep up the speed through corner 1. Corner 1 in the GT3 can carry more speed than the 993 and the GT3 is more stable so braking lighter and earlier will allow more speed to be carried through that corner....all interesting stuff - lets hope I dont have to wait 18 more months to try HD again and put these theories to practice!

Ok, that pretty much fills BB's dance card.
We have Chris B, Jason and Pete looking to do first runs. Neil is a definite starter for his second run as he's doing the Prestige group anyway and Chris M may make it. I think that's enough.
Pete can you book BB in as a normal group entry? I'll book myself in the normal group with Herman as practice for the Sprints.
Assuming you all get a run, the leader board will have 11 names. Only Matt G, Macca and Walter to get up there before one of us blows BB up.

next time at HD John Im a starter for sure. Tyres will be slicks by then ;-). Im hoping to get another HD day in again May next year when Im in NZ for the Targa Tour (unless there are some Playdays after Xmas and before Festival of Speed in Jan).

This guy has some great ideas! Maybe I should ask his advice as I had the same problem in the 964 on saturday coming into Barrel 51. As Dave can testify from the smoke in front of him. Left rear lock-up. This happened twice at the same point before Barrel 51. Not sure if this is something that happens much with you other 964ers? But whether there needs to be some biasing work I need to do. The rears are 4 pots. Jake if you see some more Japanese porsche style it would be great to see them, What did you end up renting for your drive?
Will let you know what I manage to rent. Haven't got a conclusive answer from the system at cafore.jp. Unsure how it works and site is not English friendly. May not come to fruition. Might have to settle for a GT86 instead. Would be slightly more fitting. Anything will be better than the X-Trail.
Here's a little clip for some fun - features Ralf and friends. Phil stars here, Richard Snow is in the distance and I think shortly after the clip ends Chris M plays a role... Ill stop boring you all now. Just getting an overdose on broadband fibre (50mBPS). I cant believe Ive done almost 150GB of upload to the cloud in only 4 days! Video Link: http://youtu.be/6OP0LvAd5qY
Such a great looking car. I find the best place to process complex thought is behind the wheel alongside other like minded 'academics'...

No changes to Lola at this stage and running R888's as usual so you are probably safe.
