I think Dave is out so just Pail and Yoda. I'm aiming or 1:25 this outing, which was an average lap for Doug before. I don't think I'll do anything but keep him honest. Any other AIMs coming out?

Actually, you've put a thought in my head. Does the 996TT take any of the race GT3 wheels? That might be a reasonable option for me.

John. Identical size. I bought a set of spare rims and then purchased some second hand tyres from Ian Hayr (2 sets). I think Ian has some more Bridgestone RE11's and Dave Taylor may have some more as well if Matt didn't get them all

No ECU flash, but cat removal and ECU flash next steps, see how it goes on the NITT first

Kevin from Ultimatewerks in the 996T forum gets good reviews for his ECU work. I'd earlier thought about buying his data logger and getting flashes sent via email but the C4 saga took priority. I'll be very interested to see how you go. Maybe 1:16?

Matt. Unfortunately after booking non refundable flights and organizing my trip to grab some time at HD n the 7th it was cancelled. The only other date that would have worked for me was the 21st Sept. Things didn't go my way this time...hopefully Ill get some time in at HD again in late 2014.

Better to keep learning in the 964, big power, tiptronic and PSM all serve to hinder driver progress. Plus there's more fun to be had driving a car nearer it's limits, which are more easily accessible in the 964.
Long term forecast is showing rain for the 31st, hopefully that's wrong as the wet driving's not much fun with my setup and I don't fancy running separate wet and dry sets.... oh well, summer's not far away now.

I think 1:16's will be a real stretch. Fast in a straight line, but very dodgy in a corner, the understeer is not good!

Hi Matt. No unfortunately booked to fly out 20th. Non refundable ticket means $650 to buy a new leg to stay for that day and its a non RSG day so not really of interest.
Whats all this go with making 996T road cars into track day toys? Has nothing been learnt from my antics LOL! Expensive slope (weight, suspension, brakes, tyres, ECUs etc). Chris B save yourself the money and go buy a 997 GT3 now!
Agree with Matt on the learning thing. I made that decision when I decided I will likely move to a GT3 in 2014. I made that decision 12 months ago then booked the Targa, Now 1 x HD and hopefully 2 more at the NITT and some fast road stuff in Sicily. Not exactly the intensity of immersion I desired but the 993/964 etc is definitely the right platform to get the base craft under your belt. God help me what it feels like to be doing 235 kmph down that front straight then laying the picks on BIG TIME! I guess Ill find out one day but quite happy if I hit 200kmph down there today thanks....

Won't see any head to head from me, I'm only there to drive against myself, it's not a race event.

Playday is a similar concept in my mind to golf. It's not a tournament but I'm still interested in relative scores as it drives individual improvement e.g. I know Peter H can do sub 1:20 in a C4 so that's my goal.
My interest in Chris B's time is similar. If I can do 1:23 with my current skill level on road tyres I'm interested to see how far a stock car can go with a better driver and tyres. It sets a new bar.
As for 996T vs 964C4, I agree otherwise I wouldn't have bought the latter. I've got a lot to learn. Right now I wish the events were closer together.

No problem. Just to clarity the banner situation.
I have ordered 5 more:
3 white on red for Peter M.
2 red on black, 1 for Steve R and 1 for Arthur.
Peter H took the slightly blemished red on black and will return a spare red on white, which will fill George's order.
I will bring my fitting kit to HD on 31/8, along with the new orders. Food and drink will keep me focused while I trim next to your very expensive windscreen rubber! For those of you that don't make it to HD, and don't want to tackle this yourself then I suppose I can do more on the 12/13th. I'm getting better with practice.
