Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?
Lastly, a question for John (Racoguy). When you bled your brakes etc, how did you block off the vent? I'm using a power bleeder (nice piece of kit if anyone else is tempted) but it won't work unless I block off the vent. This pic shows the short rubber tube in the vent line.
Its what Robert uses on mine.
John. Tall claims from an unknown Porsche tuner. Total replacement ECU would need Dyno time, software and knowledge to program (and reflect timing changes based on local fuel, exhaust, LWFC etc) easily doubling the cost of the package. Air-meter conversion to MAF or better still MAP aside there is no easy/cheap horsepower (and even less so torque) here trust me...

Just about spat my cup of tea all over my ipad when I saw the price of this 968 CS listing on TM yesterday:

He would be lucky to get half the asking price.

I wouldn't worry regarding the 15PSI as long as the fluid comes out of the caliper it should be OK, might take a bit longer with less pressure. Main thing is the pedal feels right after bleeding, hard not spongy.
John, I would use one of those (Klemmzange in German, English?). I wouldn't worry regarding the 15PSI as long as the fluid comes out of the caliper it should be OK, might take a bit longer with less pressure. Main thing is the pedal feels right after bleeding, hard not spongy.
That's a good motivation to get the house job finished. I am sure your wife hasn't seen you that hard working for a long time, except when it comes to your cars
Call it a personality flaw but I can't cut a cheque for the equivalent of a glass out respray to someone who can't do the job any better than myself. It is tedious but not difficult.
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.
My good remaining reflector is exposed. I guess I should tape a plastic cover over it for the trip home and be careful not to fingerprint it or anything!
Chris has kindly lent me his 4 caster jacks (for me to move Lola around in the garage) and his transport trailer so I can back it up the driveway (Troy's truck won't fit under the pergola). I expect to have her home on Tuesday afternoon. I'll need to get a few neighbours to help push her up the gentle slope into the garage.
Looking forward to the project getting underway.
And here's a way to increase horsepower and be louder than Macca at the same time. In Lola this would mean no cat or mufflers to slow things down :-P
