Matt nice wheels. We were looking at a group type buy on these a while back. Remind me, where did you get them and how much did you pay for them again?

It's the same wheels, yeah. I decided not to wait and ordered them through Design911 in the UK. They worked out to $3500 landed.

Gruppe branded and looking good, even though I'm very biased. The Fuchs have much better proportion than I expected. I think I can even live with the Techart spoiler a little longer.

Matt. Thanks for the data points. $3500 isn't bad for a landed set of of OZ wheels.

John. The rears look good. I think lowering the car helped alot. Will look even better when you get the new springs etc. Im really looking forward to the ducktail as I think it will finish it off nicely...

No one deserves to get to that start line with their Porsche today more than you do John. Enjoy!

Failing the regularity trial. Matt and Pail cautioned for exceeding 1:27. They overtook me so chasing them was a stupid move.

Did the engine mounts, took more time to jack the car up than to change them. Both buggered, one was oozing. Improvement in gear change smoothness most obvious but tootling around town gave me no measure of chassis improvements, and that It was the first real fang with the cup pipe on so car felt different anyway. I reckon it felt faster? Could just be the noise.

20 bucks of plastidip on D90's is no match for a set of Fuchs, but I'm liking the battleship grey colour.
