No, it's pretty much Industrial strength. The cabin ergonomics are coming together. Sports seats and the Mod 07 wheel give better feel and secure seating. I have new bushes for the gear shift and will replace at least the exposed one soon. The AIM is perfectly placed for reading predictive lap times. It's all good.

How do you guys get on with spacers when going for a WOF? I was under the impression you need an LVV cert.
New wheels on, shod with my bargain Dunlop DZ03Gs, ready for the weekend (excuse the cellphone quality pic):

Quite a bit lighter than the standard ones, didn't bother weighting them as they've got such different tyres on them. There's 3-4mm all around. It's more a question of how many heat cycles they've seen, as many of these R compound tyres get slippery after they heat cycle out (which is often well before the tread is worn down).

Ah, will be interesting, they might turn a bit of a blind eye. Kind of like me getting a WOF running -3.0 camber after they change the rules to only allow 0.5 degrees deviation from factory specs.

I cant see spacers being an issue. Porsche sold a number of 997 cariants with spacers as psrt of teh package (think speedster, Sport Classic some special edition boxster, 993 C2S etc).

Tricky situation. My lot is a seat, half cage, adjustable platform suspension and non factory road belt stalk mount. So far I come up with full compliance. I've been prepared all the way along to get a LVVC but only if nescessary, but the word seems to be that I don't need it. Buggered if I'd turn up at a VTNZ though. I'm considering rear 15mm spacers so I'd be interested where these fall. Interesting challenge for the Porsche specialist I end up going with long term - WOF or not?

Biggest problem I have is the air con has just stopped so the car misting up will be an issue.
