Yes, I've read that before. Horses for courses. They both have strengths. I've chosen a 964 for my track car for a reason. It's about challenge and character.

Macca

John. Im glad you chose 964 and not 964T for your track car!

Id consider leaving the wheels as they are for a while and see if you like them before experimenting with the plastidip. I really like the silver 964 with Fuch's you posed because it has its own unique identity.

John McM

I'm going to Plastidip the D90 tribute wheels first.

really Macca?

Ducktail on the way. Now I need a spoiler grill. Any spares floating around out there?

A friends old 997.1 GT3 CS has popped up at CCS:

Its well worth taking for a drive.
Strangely CCS has put a white rev counter face in it.

Also, Turners have a damaged/written off 964 tipo done 107,000kms:

I guess the engine could be good for a project?

John McM

The silver one on Trademe went for $23,000 so even fully functioning they're not worth a lot. I can't see much value in this car unless it comes as a steal. Some of us would value the non sunroof skin, but the engine would likely be only of value to someone who needs a replacement and is not worried about the possible future bills if it smokes.

John McM

That said, I'll take the spoiler grill

Macca

Hi Sean. Turns out I was looking at the wrong model Advan Wheel! Now this just looks damn mean! I like them!

Macca

John. You don't waste any time! Is the grill insert a 964 part or from an earlier 911 like some of the ducktails? Which supplier did you go with?

John McM

Macca, I'm away for work so have plenty of time to cruise the Net, plus I can't see the point in waiting. The Fuchs and the duck tail deal to the two things I wasn't happy about the car from day one. Supplier is Rennspeed. Good website, in business for a long time. Good ebay feedback and style is right, as apparently is quality. They also do this in white gel coat so. Can conceivably fit now and paint later. It's not clear which insert I need. The website says SC.

Macca

John. I agree - get it all sorted while the car is down. Yes SC or older 911. I did tonnes of research on this for the 993. Rennspeed ones fit better than MA Shaw but still may need some sanding and fettling to get a perfect fit and finish. Our cars were handmade and Ive found sometimes panels are not quite symmetrical side to side.

John McM

They also have some interesting hood options....please make this sickness stop.
