Black Beauty is a DC4. Would DC5 seats fit? Just thinking about the seat belt for road driving. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-...-762696643.htm

may as well keep the standard DC4 seats IMO, factory honda seats are crap, not worth the hassle unbolting and rebolting rails to the seat.
you can pick up DC2 type R recaros for next to nothing on NZhondas, just do that for a cheap but more worthwhile upgrade?

Speaking of 993s. Flawless dark blue (not metallic but don't know the real colour) 993 RS for sale over here in Sydney. Going to try get a closer look at it and the white 993 turbo they have in there over the weekend.
Seems to be more 993s here than 964s, just from mental notes.

Probably both. I have a 32gb stick and hope it will take all of the files, but will bring a seagate portable HD as well. Just in case there are problems, particularly with speed. Both are USB. I think the HD is 3.0.

Phil, all files are HD. Even on Pete's 100 inch screen it was clear. All files have a good quality soundtrack.

Helmet Project Update. So here is the base helmet in white. The lighter carbon version of this helmet is used in F1. I decided to stick with Arai as my existing full face Arai has been a faithful high quality and long lasting companion for many years. (For Targa I use an open face Stilo with comms). I chose this one as I plan to keep the Fraser for a few years yet for track fun and in a closed car I can always use the Stilo as well. It will have preinstalled Hans anchors and there are options for iridium visors etc
I am talking to LAdesign out of Melbourne for custom paint. They do a lot of this including V8 supercar teams. The design is not yet locked down but concepts are quite developed and I am getting a computer mock up developed to make sure I am happy with final design and colour mix/co-ordination etc. I expect finalization to take a few weeks yet to allow for a bit of tweaking. They have been good to deal with but I think it is important that the customer has a well developed idea of what they want otherwise the time taken to get to design finalization could be even more expensive than it needs to be. One needs to think of the job as hand drawn art.
So the fundamental concept is to pick up themes related to my cars (emblems), NZ/kiwi (stylized flag elements) and my Chinese heritage, I won't go too far on pics yet until I have finalized after mock up. The cars and flag elements are self explanatory but some concepts to give some idea of the direction of the Chinese elements (and get Macca's juices going) are as follows;
Name- in both English and Chinese characters
Yin/Yang- Is the idea of complementary balance in all things, male/female, night/day, winter/summer, sun/moon, and of course in motorsport terms the holy grail of balance between understeer and oversteer...
The 2 creatures associated most with Yin Yang are the dragon and tiger, complementary celestial creatures for the dragons fire breathing attacking nature and the tigers stealthy defensive hunting style. Here is an example (not what I am using). Not much more for a few weeks now

You sure its not flat black?
I know there is no danger of you coming home with it Sean. Its Australia so they will be asking $350K for it! The 991 GT3 new is 330K AUD with a couple of options over there, we are very lucky here by comparison to their prices new and used....
