Safe driving to all those travelling today. Look forward to catching up Sunday afternoon.
Chris, Sam and I are heading off early Sunday. If you're also heading down then and are keen to leave early and take a scenic route, let me know.

Im not sure that is recommended when extending hub. Doug used a bolt on spacer (essentially you can get only 5-7mm for a slide over one on the factory studs). The bolt on has studs in the back of it for the wheel. You are putting alot of extra stress on the bolts if you run 20-30mm longer studs to take up that difference and I dont think its safe?
Porsche approve up to 17mm rear spacers for the 964. The only condition is to try and maintain the same track width front and rear., If anything to help the inherent understeer of the C4 a slightly wider track at the front would be beneficial
The downside to using longer studs as i see it is the installation and should you want to run without spacers then either the studs need to be replaced or open lug nuts need to be used

I know the top bidder and consider him a man of integrity.
If the car had been as good as Vincent stated in the ad then I'm surprised that the bidder pulled out. The fact that Macca's questions seemed to unnerve him makes me wonder.
Whatever the reality is I think the moral of the story is for both sides to be very clear on the condition of the vehicle being sold. Evidently there was a gap here. It probably would have been better to have a PPI from a respected shop to show to buyers so all were informed, however it was a flip so more buyer beware than anything.
