Nice one Michael! Paul you are getting your 7/10ths confused with going 10/10ths on road tyres giving you the appearance of 7/10ths if you were on R compounds! Remember 10/10ths is where the danger lies. I think from what Im reading here everyone will go as quickly as they are sensibly able. Ive opted for my usual bout of tuition deciding the quickest way from zero to respectability is by having an instructor - so I have booked two sessions (1st and 4th) per track with an instructor. Afterall the rest of you now have 1000's of laps experience on the track...some of us have to play catch up quick ;-)

I gather you are at practice in Friday? May need to ask for a favour to collect my tickets.

That's a 964 Turbo part no. Didn't know they were the same.
Mr Blue update. Apparently I've blown an inch thick bakerlite spacer from the induction manifold which explains the sucking sound at HDs. Now I'm going down the old. "While you're in there" routine...

Good to hear it's not a big problem. It sounded like an intake air leak. What are they doing while they are in there?

I ran Pagid Oranges on my 987 and they are great on the track but very squeely at slow breaking as a DD so I now run Porsche pads for DD (silent and v nice by comparison) and Pagids on the track where they are awesome fadeless and last well. Next order for SITT will be Pagid Yellows to try them. Nigel runs them on his 986.

I read somewhere that items around the injectors can cause leaks, with age, but hadn't heard any other issues. I suppose it's up to them to tell you the why and you to consult your wallet to decide if it's going to happen. Hopefully we'll see you out again. The calendar is now heavily biased towards the SITT so HD is all but over for me after this weekend. I can't do twilights.

The 911 Targa is unveiled. What do you think?

I wonder if it looks even better in the flesh and if this move will reinvigorate values of old 70's Targas?

Doug. Good spotting. I quite like it. I think it will be very colour sensitive. Like most of the 991 range it will look better in the flesh than in the pictures. There is something a bit hot rod about it although its a bit cliche retro and probably not as practical as the outgoing system....
