I got all of my Michelins from Design 911. The 18inch sets were ~ $2300 landed in my garage. Another $125 to fit a set.

Thanks to whoever pointed me to the race jack. It's a work of art. It also goes well with my jack pads.

I bought four of these for $22 each landed. However I can't see myself using more than two at once. Anyone want one or both of the other two at cost? They lock into the 911 jacking point and I've added a rubber sheet to the bottom so it's rubber on rubber at the jack end.

Where did the jack come from?

John McM

Trademe. Search for "Alloy Racing Jack Floor Jacks 3000lb 1.5T". $231 delivered

Macca

John. I have the same jack and love it. Ill take the jack pads. Drop me your a/c details and Ill fix you up....

John McM

Done. Just credit me at RSG, the accounting keeps Peter amused. I'll drop the pads into CCS.

I just priced up a full set of 18" Michelin Super Sport tyres (I believe these are now the best riad tyres from Michelin, they are a fairly new product) in 18" 235/275 fittings for $924 USD at Tiretrack before shipping and GST. Id imagine that's a 3200 NZD set of tyres in NZ!

Macca

Thanks John. Will do that this weekend. Car will be around next week getting geo sorted so all good to drop off with Dean and have him leave in the glove box....

Found this on a random picture thread on Pelican. I was most likely there. Those were the days...
I recall the lefty orange/gold RS and the silver 930 well.

Macca

Dave. I think you must have been. The turbo lost a few seconds on the day, some young guy with a camo cap seen sitting in the drivers seat in the pits a wee while before racing could have been to blame....LOL

Maxem

Yep, would have been me. Those were the great days of Porsche club racing. The porsche club LeMans relay races were fantastic. I did anything I could to get to Pukekohe to see them. It was at the end of one of those days that Oli Newbegin beckoned me over randomly and gave me a ride around Puke in his white / green RS. First ride in a Porsche and it was an RS. How can you top that?

John McM

Do we have a new RSG unit of measure? It's called the 'Dave' = 2 track seconds

Macca

John. I didn't really want to say anything here, but I spent some time with Oli at the Rennsport Weekend in Sydney and I recall him saying in passing he gave up racing shortly after that RS. He just couldn't get any faster in that car....Mmmmm....

Maxem

The 2 seconds will make an appearance off my lap times anytime soon. Just waiting for the right moment. Could be next weekend. In fact I'll be bummed if I don't see them because it will be my first time at HD on sticky tyres, Sorted brakes and a sweet running 964. The full package.

John McM

If you want to run the AIM later in the session when you're dialled in, just ask. Then we can overlay you with the reference lap from Peter 1:19.6. I've got the next Regularity Trial on Sunday so I'll be spoiled for data that weekend.

On another point, I've run the C4 and 996 TT with the Tomtom. Both speedos are 7km/hr faster than the Tomtom readout, at an indicated 100km/hr. Given GPS is accurate, I've taken a note to myself not try and watch the speedo in the sweeper. If you look at Peter's data and Nigel's YouTube lap, you need to run at 100km/hr around the sweeper to have a worthwhile lap. The section through turns 3 to 9 is a lot closer between the cars.
