So... anyone here drive a nice looking silver and black 924 Turbo? I had one following my white 944 while driving out to Pirongia yesterday arvo... (actually my partner was driving - she drove it like she was driving her Chery J1 )

 

WEC Silvestone

Porsche #18 second to Audi #7 by only 4.6 seconds. Hartley's Porsche #17 forced into retirement while leading after 80 minutes. Booo

Pel
you lurking around Greville Rd this avo
Saw a white TT..nice looking car

 

Fail. I like darker, but the plastidip gunmetal is clearly too blue. Next step, some mock up sprays by arrow wheels.

 

^^^ Agreed too blue - but like where you are heading.

Should just copy colour of Macca's GT3 wheels??

 

Few pics of my 944 after having a good clean and polish. Its white again!

Cam belt being done early this wheel, then wheels off to the powder coasters for a bead blast and gunmetal paint

 

Dave put a very similar if not the same colour on a set of D90s of Lola's. They looked good when it was fresh but by the end of the SITT the brake dust was really engrained and they looked pretty bad. I found them really hard to clean and in the end removed the plasti-dip. It's quite a job to remove. I used the peel it off/rub it off rather than solvent method to reduce the horrible mess. Avoid plastidip IMO and go straight to paint.

Good luck with the colour choice. The 991 GT3 wheel colour is very nice alright.

 

Mike was it this car perhaps?

 

My wife was, this forum could be a great way to keep tabs on misbehaviour!!

 

Nice shot Dave! Did they leave the sound factory or did they put a tweety bird muffler on it to go with the exterior? Seriously though, good on them.

In other news, ACC reckons anyone driving a 2001-2008 Porsche would be better off driving a GTR or even a 1999 VW Golf. Link at bottom right of http://www.acc.co.nz, but the GTR and Golf fall into the safest, cheapest registration class.

Someone's definitely applied the near enough is good enough 80/20 Pareto principle here though because there are other inconsistencies in the rankings eg the same Isuzu/Holden branded car being placed in different categories.

Bit of an own goal for Porsche probably since they normally steer clear of independent safety ratings (though I can't blame them too much as some of those ratings are increasingly based on inane political criteria). So Porsche is probably data deficient compared to the Protons, Geelys and Pontiacs of this world and was just biffed in the default risk bucket...

 

Looking good! How did you find OCD? What stage polish did you get? Sorry, I'm a detailing geek. I looked at their price list. A 3 day detail for $850 - Cheap, there's no money in that game.

 

Have spoken to a few friends who have used them, and all were impressed with their work. They put the finishing touches on Helens car before it went on to be part of the winning concourse team.

 

My car was so neglected that it doesnt fit in one of their packages haha. Was a clean, cut, polish and wax. Was super oxidized, left it with them for 2 weeks to do in their spare time.

I would recommend them, they are passionate about what they do and really spend the time and do it right. Also had our work 2014 skoda vrs polished and a sealant applied.

Also their Dragon Breath wheel cleaner is amazing, havent used anything like it. http://unitedcarcare.co.nz/shop/exte...-breath-500ml/

 

I do believe that might have been then one - bit hard to tell because we could only see it in our mirrors

Good looking car though.

 

Thanks for the recommendation. The Spyder rims on the R are driving me nuts trying to keep them clean.
