John McM

Yes, Jamie's

Jamie, if you're out there, what seats are they and do you still have rear seats fitted?

Kiwi Carguy

High milage low priced 996 manual for that Gruppe R conversion you were talking about Paul http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...-975728945.htm

I'm here. I removed the rear seat tops years ago and have them in storage. I'm about to refit them as soon as I have time. The front seats are the same as the ones Macca has in his car and the same as these ones http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-...-966750763.htm They're much better than the seats I removed, saved weight, are more comfortable, held me in place better and improved the cosmetic condition of the interior as the old seats were in shabby condition.

Macca

Someone should pick this up. Could probably get it for 26K. A lot of car for the money. With some PSS10 & a few RS goodies, lowered, geo'd on Z221s, change the front seats and biff the rears - would be a fun low $$$ track hack capable of high 15s/ow 16s at HD and owe less than a ropey 964/933 tipo?

Kiwi Carguy

BB3 or are we up to 4 now?

To think this car is probably selling at just over 10% of its original purchase price!

Very cool. Thanks for the info. Did/do/will you have any hassles with fixed buckets and rear seats vis a vis LVVC or WoF? (at risk of going round the buoy on a conversation I may have missed in the last couple thousand pages).

Kiwi Carguy

No probs. I'm pleased with the outcome and yes this topic has been well discussed previously on here and the car passed it's WOF no probs. I respect others on here have different views, analyse things till the cows come home etc but in over 10 years, 5 Porsches a few insurance claims and some sensible approaches I've never had any issues with compliance or claims. In saying that things are a little less serious down these ways than in the big smoke

Macca

Jase...now there's a subject we just LOVE LOL!

Kiwi Carguy

It's right up their with P-car values. Hang on I've got to go update my listing as they've just increased again

Macca

Here's a nice little GT3 medley from a European amateur driver known to me. He's very quick. They really mix it up there. Lovely track Monza and on my bucket along with Spa & Imola and HH short. Monza is super quick. 265kmph on the main straight and 240-255kmph in two other places on the track. Fun watching him dice it up with far quicker hardware. Expert driver. Very inspirational!

Macca

Hey. At least the LVVC discussion has been constructive and educational LOL! Ive actually learnt quite a bit from Walt, Mikey and others on that subject. Must do something about it too...sometime soon :-)

964X33

All fair points Jamie. I just hate the after the fact argument and Prestigio won't accept completely that if it's warranted, it's legal. They say if it it turns out after the fact the fine print and interpretation of the assessor says it isn't, there might be a problem. I think I'll just get a LVVC and sleep easy. Trouble is you'd have to get it re-certified every time you do a little mod. Have discussed this at length with Macca. Like $ it is getting boring, but all part of the rich tapestry that is P-cars.
Anyway, like the seats. Good luck with the sale.
