Clear turn signals and side repeaters
Brake ducts - in addition to the Techart ones so I can decide which comes out best. Might do a carbon fibre wrap - boy racer style
Cup bypass pipe.
Some internal trim to tidy a few things.
Factory RS mounts - FD motorsports
A new set of Pagids - FD motorsports
A set of Dunlop 03G tarmac tyres - 16" for my D90's as my preferred track wheels (light). Can't believe my luck, Dunlop NZ had an unpopular size they want to clear - 16" rears perfect for me. Fronts full price though.
Heigo half cage with x brace and belt guide bar - through Gert.
2 x sabelt 3" 5 point harnesses. As cage comes later, we are using the rear seatbelt mounts for shoulder strap attachments for now. When cage comes, it uses these so I will get some nice laser cut steel tags that will sandwich between the cage and mount and provide a clipping facility for the harnesses.
Road belts remain for road use.
An appointment with Road Race and Rally to get harness mounts and a drivers seat fitted.
Small slimline number plate from Personalised plates - legal - had a copper relieve me of my german plates on my E60 Motorsport the other day. Didn't fine me though.
RS door cards of my own construction, lucky me has a 3D ABS printer at work and SolidWorks to model up fittings, this is where the interior might see some hot *******, or I'll bottle out and go black.
Stereo and speaker delete, drew up a blanking plate to move the console switches up to there to simplify the console area.
Got all excited for 5 minutes last week and partly modelled up some Fuchs centers on Solidworks, investigated 6061 T6 plate supply and jumped on trademe to look for a set of butt ugly japanese style three piece wheels to lend their barrels and lips to the new centers. Did a quick calc and buying new might be cheaper but there's less fun in that. Long term project but my wheel search is going nowhere. Plenty of tasty stuff but I'm a tight ar**.
I dismissed the ducktail and RS rear bumper - really wanted that but it comes out a bit much once painted and fitted.
Tow hooks front and rear - will do my own - laser cut steel welded to a bolt with a shoulder and an O ring, although I hear the thread is a weird one.
Side skirt seals, There is a window glazing rubber that pushes in and stays put that I have to replace the shrunken ones, works excellently and looks tidy being just the one piece.
Thats about it I think.

I have the rennline folding one at the front which is lovely and has a rennline GoPro mount which is handy too. Unfortunately the folding design doesnt work on the rear of the 993 so well because of the position of the slot and the number plate cowling so I use the factory one there. I believe the same challenge exists for the 964 so keen to see what you come up with...

When do you hope to have everything fitted? Before the NITT?

Graeme. Yip things move fast around here mate! Im in discussions with Skip Barber school as we speak. Slots over August/September impossible for next year (motor racing season) so working through some options. I think Ill pass through my findings to the RSG committee first for publication on the RSG site once we are in lock down and members only access in the next week or two.

Simon instructed me for my last round. We boiled the brakes with his aggressive brake and trail brake method but it felt very comfortable as cornering was at reasonable speed and it was easy to add throttle. Another point he drilled in was look up. The main straight doesn't seem so bad if you look up as it deemphasises how fast you are going. There was also a lot of emphasis on steering wheel handling. Hands at 3 & 9 and hands never leave that position. Turning is achieved by rolling the wheel and keeping shoulders back.

I had already voted yes for tuition on the Sept tour but a couple more sessions with Ray today removed any doubt - a definite must irrespective of how many of us are in. In fact 6-8 would be ideal.

Mind you, the most fun thing today was seeing Paul's smile when he rocked up.... followed by the utter frustration at not being able to drive it and 1000km still to run in
