Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?

I remember similar in late 1980s Alfa 2000 gtv Nik. Heavy tho. But lots of older gen Recaro road seats on TM for a resto as you say. Can work well for roadie

Warwick. There are no doubt better fluids available than SRF (its pretty tied and tested). We pay $100 a litre for SRF at Repco (special which has seemed to last 12+ months now). Like many Ive stock piled a bit. The reason people tend to go this way in RSG is because there are so many of us using it that its easy to find a top up on track day. There is always half a bottle laying around here or there. Its probably more an issue when you start to look at doing events like NITT & SITT.
Dont hesitate to give those Z221 a go. Like John says they are the mutz nutz and will make best use of that geo work and corner balance you had done. Cheapest go fast mod you can make good for 2s a lap!

I like the engine lid treatment.

Agree though. I was sorely tempted to bid on that long hood with a 3.6, and do see something like that in my garage at some point. Maybe when I get sick of the torque and hp of the turbo... Yeah right.

Correct, I have seen them in RUF. There were too versions, early one and later with stronger hinges IIRC. Parts hard to source now. Heavy seat but good bolster. A Touring seat. Steve R has a pair which he moves around his cars. His are one of only two sets Ive seen in NZ although Im sure some came in in ex Sing/HK imports etc.

Sold for ¥5.3M, so about $85k landed, plus (I imagine) a couple of thousand dealing with compliance. Was likely based on a '71-'73 911 although I'm not sure.

The Gen 1's you can see the shell of the base. The Gen 2's are the same bases at the SR3 like what Lancer Evo's, M3 Sport Evo etc have, ie cloth sides on the base.

I'd be it itching for a mid 70's narrow body impact bumper with a big donk, lowered on chubby 15" fuchs and sleeper looks
Three Wheelin'
Throwing the car around hard on track on Z221 accelerates failure if all weak/aging drivetrain components. Tie rods, wheel bearings, CVs, drive shafts, LSD friction plates, brake assemblies etc. lateral G increases by 0.2-0.30 over a road tyre in track. Also more aggressive camber needed etc. I found no need for pad upgrades but the faster and harder you go the greater the stresses on the car.
In other words, 10% more load = 30% life reduction, +20% = half the life...
...for new parts...
Old parts? This springs to mind:
Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

Needed an ice-cream, so Arrowtown always makes a nice pic. 993 to balance all the 964 pics lately

Better late than never. I offered to take some pics of the Fuchs a while back. I think they would be better for photo shopping with a solid background.
