Keep this up John and you'll be a one-man race team: manager, driver and mechanic!
In honour of the growing band of 996T owners here, here's the latest take from 911& P World - page 62 onwards (click on Issuu):

Hence my thoughts about potentially needing another set of 19" rims for some street/wets.
If I can't sell the 18" ones I'll used them up at some point.

Yes, I didn't like the 18" on the car, and needed new tyres on the 19's so opted for more track rubber given I'm not planning any more targas for a while!

I did weight them. From memory around 12 kg for the shells and 15kg with the side brackets and slider mechanism. They are under half the weight of the factory seats with sliders which IIRC are around 35kg a piece....

John that 2013 footage brings back memories. First time at Manfield and that last session my 993 acquitted itself well putting in a personal best lap of the day (thanks to Ray Williams tuition) and struggling only to keep up with the 996TT and 997GT3 (which I'm chasing in that footage :-)). Its a shame the 2014 conditions weren't quite as good as in 2013. Lets hope no rain in 2015!

Sorry Doug, but not this time. I'm half way through my to do list so need to keep focused to finish. Just changed BB2's oil. It was black and thick. I think it's been a while. Changed over the speed sensor on the gearbox as speedo wasn't working with the new sensor on the new box. Ali thought it might be an OB2 sensor incompatible with our OBD1 ECU. We'll see.

I'm in. Earlier the better and might have to bail early if we go too far but that's OK. SC has no rego so I'll be in another marque. Chris's at 8 so Sylvia park at 7.30 ish?
