Geeze! These guys with 964 race cars cutting their steel roofs off and replacing with CF to reduce the centre of gravity by the equivalent of 30mm and then there are SUVs like this one that couldnt look more jacked if they were on the hoist LOL!

John. Perfect!

P.S. That red SUV 964 you posted can pass compliance with no issues with 20+ year old struts but Chris;s car with lowered and upgraded Bilstein shocks and springs probably needs a LVCC (because they think the suspension are coilover!). Go figure. I know which is safest on the road...

I'll take an iterative approach tomorrow. I'll show the PET illustrations for factory configuration showing adjustable threads, if that fails I'll be enlisting Dean's help in some form if I can. Perhaps Dean can speed he LVV as where my car is won't see their LVV guy for another week.

Will keep everyone posted. In the AM I'll reset codes, replace fog lamp bulbs & explain how to use the on button, as well as show part #'s on my lens are indeed RHD.

John. Your doing real well at this Starwars thing (obviously a true fan like many on here). Who should we pitch as Vader? We have our Yoda done and dusted.

P.S. Incase that's giggles I hear in the background we will be having a SITT pantomime and Star Wars will be the theme so suggest you all take this seriously....there are plenty of Ewok roles unfilled!

Based on the last Playday, it has to be Nigel, as he scattered a few Jedis....

What is he posting in that little old 996 GT3 now?

Id imagine he must be low 1.16s/high 1.15s by now? That's pretty good going given its stock (well I know he just bolted on a cat delete pipe a few weeks back...). I must ask him to take me out in his car next time so I can see whats going on there!

You have to take your hat off to Fedex and Tyre rack. Tyres ordered Friday, dispatched Monday and arrived in NZ customs this morning at 11am!

Not sure, but he reckoned he hit 230km/hr on the main straight, which is 10km/hr faster than Neil does it.

John, I think he was referring to the "hard riding" of the GTI? Better on 17s than 18s
