Nice classic. If only it were a manual http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=764827943

Unusual that a kit has come out for the 964. Not exactly a big market. http://www.twinkam.co.uk/shop/articl...aid%3DSC300%26
If anyone has heard my car on the track I think you would agree it has pleasant sound mainly due to the centre delete Sharkwerks exhaust I ordered from America. When the car was being cleaned up this week a few of the welds were found to be failing in the exhaust after 18 months of usage. I emailed Sharkwerks and within hours was informed that a new one was being shipped and would arrive mid week. Now that's what I call service and would ask all who don't know Sharkwerks yo have a look at their products. Pretty good.
Having said this, I think we could have the welds repaired and maybe someone would like to give the repaired unit a go. Get back to me if you want.
Am tempted by the GMG sport headers for the GT3 . Look fabulous and supposed to give extra HP. Have to catch Macca.

I wouldn't worry about catching Macca, you're already lapping a fair bit quicker than him, even rowing your own gears!

Neil. GMG look like they make some great stuff. Their headers are top shelf. I'm happy with the SHarkworks gear for the money though as you say.

CCS told me about the Turbo. I just met Max on the street; don't know him from Adam but seemed a decent guy.

Yes the 3.6T went to a car enthusiast known to CCS who already owns a few Porsches and a RS2. It was a private deal and should probably remain that way. I think it may possibly get more use by the new owner so may be seen out and about which would be nice...

Max has been around a long time. Very good at what he does but a player. I quite like him - bit of a character and if he's actually serious about the 993turbo and not just wanting to find a home for it then let's get him on board he's a mover and a shaker and well connected to the Giltrap family etc good to have new blood....

Speaking of selling, $210,000 for Masa's car equates to a UK landed price of £165,000. I'd say he received global market value. I hope it does get out more. Perhaps we'll even see at the concours as it has a real opportunity of winning, it was/is that good. The rough one is still at CCS, I'm not sure what is taking so long to fix there. Parts are not impossible to get but I'm noticing smaller parts not from the 964 pool are taking weeks to source e.g. Stone guard decals and the rear seat release buttons.

On a completely different subject, my wife went out for an hour last night so I scurried off down to the man cave as soon as she was gone and worked on Herman. First up I put the passenger seat back in, then changed the wheels back to street tyres, then sorted out a wet headlight. Luckily, I've been adding random rubber pieces to my parts orders so had both seals in my spare parts stash. To those of you with condensation in your H4 lights do NOT try to polish the reflector. A well meaning mechanic did one of mine of the Turbo 3.6 and cost me $1,300 to get two new lights. I'm still trying to find out how to get the old reflector re-silvered, although I know where a good reflector is now
BTW a wet day at HD cleaned up the Z221. This pic is the left hand side after 4,000km and 5 track days.
