Have previous commitments on the 29th but am very keen to make it out to HD at some point. Certainly a car that I don't want to test the limits of on a public road.
If you see a red 964 C4 on the road to Tauranga this weekend - that'll be me - v small world indeed.

Will do. We're heading up Sat AM, decided we'd rather relax tonight then battle Auckland traffic. Drive safe, but quickly ;-)

Welcome Jsivvy and congratulations on the 3.3. It looks lovely! Nice wheels.

Becoming a great little community here finally!

Phil. Its not really a man cave. We were just having a laugh. Its a couple of storage units I need to consolidate into one next week and forcing myself to relinquish some of my magpies hoard in the futile hope I can make everything fit in LOL!

Thanks Macca, appreciate the welcome...and providing me another opportunity to post more pics! (need to find a more exciting locale for a pic other than the driveway, but was so stoked with how it looked after 4 stages of cleaning/waxing I was scared a bird would crap on it if I drove anywhere.)

Welcome to the neighbourhood. We should rename it 'Porsche Place'. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask, or if you see me out cleaning the cars, then stop by and make yourself known.

That's beautiful! And clean! Shame they don't stay that way when they're used as intended

Yeah. They keep cutting it with Ajax here, gives you a hell of a headache in the morning! Nah, it was another spambot posting on our board. I get the updates on my BB but they are often gone from here once I log on, this one wasn't last night but has now been removed by administrator making my comment looking plainly bizarre!

Bloody spambots!

I report the spam as soon as I see it. Good to see it goes quickly.

Me too. There's been a fair bit of it and for some reason they seem to post early evening NZ time.

You're forgiven Macca.

Any of you guys ever taken the fanbelt sensor apart? Its been faulting for the last few track days under load. There's plenty of contact with the belts and we replaced the belts as a precaution but the sensor is still triggering a fault. There have been a few postings about it so may attempt it (two left thumbs notwithstanding.)

For John. Your shocks still dont make any sense. They should be R64 300 301 01 ? Be interesting to see if you have the larger sway bars as per below too.

T is Price for part (ex german VAT)
M is fitting cost at RUF
G is total parts including fitting

Fan belt sensor is part 99310603500. Cost is ~ NZD 125. I replaced mine a few years ago. I think that's the better option unless your time isn't worth much.
