Looking great Dave and serious intent shown with those Nitto shod minilites. Are they your track wheels?

RS ZWEI

That looks awesome.

Bloody good! I was starting to get a bit worried about that deadline being met.

Looking good Dave. Who'd have thought she'd be ready before you were. Can't wait to see her on the road/track. How are the Fuchs coming along?

These are just loaners for rolling around the shop. Not sure what it will have on it for the NITT. These would do though.
I have the deep sixes, some cookies and will get a set of 7x15 fuchs.

Thanks Doug,
I saw the Fuchs there but are unfinished as yet.

Maxem

Thanks Graeme,
Yes, first drive will be quite exciting. I hope the drive down is fine weather or I'll be way back down the train taking it easy.

It was so much fun last time, I think we play this game again!!

With you Doug. I'd be more inclined to go the other way as I like the 996T's Qs and find them easier on the eye for some reason:

It appears to have accelerated when the RSG concept was born. A few Porsche nuts finding a common group - now multiple car ownership isn't unusual.

Btw Warwick, I don't think it's possible to do an engine drop with just newbies, at least not unless you have multiple days.

The good news is that I can help others now when I finally finish.

Last night was a pivotal point. I managed to get both half shafts disconnected after many hours of trying with the last two bolts. Oil line tonight will be the last big hurdle.

After that it's small connectors. The drop itself should be easy.

I made a support out of plywood and a routered board to cradle the engine when it comes out with the ATV jack. I think I could almost do this solo except the ATV jack only drops 25cm and there is more engine height than that to clear. Once the engine is on the ATV jack there's no obvious place to use the AC Jack to get it higher. I will have to call in some muscle.
