Another delivery from the US 
Time to retire to the Man Cave tonight and fit the Momo, then the ducktail grille. Hopefully the weather will stay fine so I can use these in anger on the weekend.

Rotored out for HD sprints sorry Paul (+T10)
In my capacity as a PCNZ Committee Member, I'm just putting a plug across the Rennlisters board that there is a PCNZ sprints day on 10th August with a few spots still available.
For those of you how haven't done sprints before this is a step up from a Play Day as you are set off at 5 sec intervals with a car of a similar lap time to you, and you get to chase each other around the track. This is ideal if they pair you with a car around 0.5 to 1 sec quicker than you, as you soon learn to find this time to keep pace with them.
Drop me a line at paul@pjmprojects.co.nz if you are keen.
John - you slacker - wash your socks on Sunday
Sean - are you in the country??
Phil and Walter - the 996T's need a blast (err...and I need something to pass............until we hit a straight bit of track.)

). Only fitting those original cross-drilleds again if they are cheap (anyone got a new/used 996T set lying around?), else will likely go for slotteds.
I think people were also discussing turn 10 at HD. FWIW my vote probably goes to double apexing. Was single apexing last time and at one point Matthew passed me pretty easily on the main straight with his GT3 despite our (paper) power to weight and 100-200kph being almost identical. He was doubling the sweeper and obviously had a much better exit speed. The speed difference was probably mostly line, with no doubt a bit of help from Matt's driver talent, his GT3's r-comps, and maybe some hp loss from intercooler heat soak on my car.
Times will tell, but I'll at least be experimenting with doubling it next time. Went back over those run graphs that were posted last month but couldn't find anything relevant in T10. Anyone got some splits from trying it both ways in the same car? Or want to do some (hint, hint)?

Just spoke to CCS and they're unlikely to have the time to fit a new O ring in the hydraulic line this week. Looks like I'll be out in the 996TT. I will take the AIM but I think you want data from someone who can drive at 10/10ths on both lines. Maybe Matt will volunteer? He has an AIM as well.

Enjoy the HD weekend guys. Just rechecked my front rotors on the 996T and they'll need replacing before another track day (cracks between the crossdrilled holes are 5mm+ and almost joining up - I keep rechecking them but they're not getting better).
Only fitting those original cross-drilleds again if they are cheap (anyone got a new/used 996T set lying around?), else will likely go for slotteds.

HD T10 lines and time splits

Looks like you'll be flying the flag for the 996Ts this weekend John - just enjoy that SRF braking!

HD T10 lines
I got my best lap time last event by double apexing it, you can see the greater speed out of the corner, I'll see if I can attach it... (from the dotted line onwards to the right, 2 fastest laps used. Fastest lap was a double apex. Brakes on that day were crappy). Double apex lap in red.

What's great about that overlay is that the area between the two speed curves on the rest of those runs (T1-T10 entry) pretty much cancels out so the bulk of the 0.7sec difference in times looks to be attributable to turn 10 and the following main straight. OK, its only a sample size of 1 (very good) comparison but if just doubling T10 drops my best into the 1.17s I'll be well stoked.

Macca, Your Heigo cage looks brilliant, I'd be keen to look at one as they do seem a great bolt-in option, that could always be taken out again, and they make sense in the 911 when looking at how thin the pillars are. They also look very well made. I know David's been waiting for his one for awhile... I've heard the wait for them is long.

Good one John the prototipo is a great improvement, let me know how you go with the spacers too, as you saw with the oil line rub I have I need to invest in some shortly too, and looking at the options from 5-15mm for the rear.

Sam, I'm hoping 5 or 6mm will be enough to fix my rubbing. It's ironic I saw your problem first. Pot calling the kettle black! Aching to get the car back out on the track. I have 700km on the rebuild so am thinking I've done enough to run full revs now. Also want to get out there with the AIM and cut a few seconds off my lap time.
