Getting an LVV Cert plate for one will be exciting! Looking forward to seeing one on NZ roads.
Oh yeah! That little chestnut LOL!

I love RWB stuff. But its a brave man that takes a angle grinder to a 964/993 and I dont think Id beable to get the think along my fav driving roads at pace without splitting the bumper and spats. Few have the mumbo to match the look but Leh Keens fathers one in US is undergoing 4.0L upgrade which should go nice...

Yes, should help a lot. I see that PCNZ will also help people get a club sport (M) licence, which is brilliant.

Pirelli calendars are too tame these days.

This is just stone chip touch ups. Concours light is more than just a cut and polish.

The wheel arches, door sills and interior have been done by H, Tim and I last weekend.

If you know anybody with a GT3 can you please pass this email on to them or pass their details to me.
Could you please contact me by email

Seriously? Used to be you just drove up there after an afternoon giving her a wax. Some take it pretty serious tho as I recall. The club has changed you Buba, made you old man before your time. You need to buy cheap 964 (like that Grey one Dougs mate got for 36k), a grinder from Bunnings, a carton of Camel and an appointment with Nakai San....

Haha. She had a glint in her eye when I came home. The reason why? The gearbox invoice went to our joint email account.

That Swepco didn't last long in the C3, I know everyone rates it, but man the box is HARD to shift when cold.........

It's awful for the trip up the road - be interested on your experiences JMc.

I will reply later on lessons learned with the G50 box. Basic thought is DON'T run a graunching box. Get it sorted

Jisus! I was advised just to run the Porsche stuff through for a bit of road work then a track day then we dropped the fluid did an oil inspection and re filled with new stuff. $55 a fill I think it was including CCS tax. Im surprised they didnt recommend you do an oil change after the box done some work, but maybe this was because I had a new GT clutch pack fitted same time and those friction plates can loose a bit of stuff when new...
