Turbo 3.6 has new control arm bushes and shoes. Just waiting its clean now, then the stable goes to 2 working. Alternator coming home tomorrow in time for a Waitangi Day fit (I may need the whole day!). Then it will be three working again.

Yes, possibly due to suspension being stiffer (camber was also a bit compromised at only -1.2). You could put my right hand tyre on your left front and the edge rubbing would be irrelevant being on the inside.

I don't think these are RSG appropriate, but just a heads up that I will put a set of Bridgestone S03s up on Trademe. 18" 225/40 and 265/35. These are ~ 12 years old. I changed them out due to age. They're only suitable for a complete garage queen or a drift car, I imagine. Maybe useful as a spare, but I'm trying my best to get out of that mindset and am making room.

Been through Suez and apparently 7 days out from Singapore where container is due to change ships. Bit frustrating once you hit SE Mediterranean as there is no live tracking through the Arabian Gulf & Indian Ocean (too easy for Pirates maybe?) You can get satellite AIS tracking but that's a subscription service. I use a basic account with FleetMon. Last official position was received 6 days ago!
Am trying to source a replacement set of instrument dials at the moment but no luck yet. The Cayman one doesn't come with Kph on the dial (unlike the 993 which at least had both) Am trying Lockwood international (via Robinson Instruments in Onehunga) and FVD. Can reset the electronic speedo/odo via the system tester.

Macca if you are dead set on doors you might check out Manthey. Probably not for 993 but they do quote carbon 'street' doors save 20kg so presume they will be TUV for Germany. NZ compliance is another matter as we know from importing experience. Their supplier may be able to do 993?

That's it. Nice spec car though and I presume it is still located in Napier or Hastings so we can get a first hand report on it??

Doug - its white, they'll take an SUV trade but unfortunately its not an open top. Interesting alternative comparison for Spyder money though.
I believe that this GT3 was imported crashed by Emma Gilmour's Father who rebuilt it.

Try FVD for instrument dials. You maybe-able to get some after-market coloured dials that Robinsons can fit for you that add some bling and address your KMph issue without breaking the bank. Im pretty sure there are other cheaper suppliers on the market.

If there's a good local option to use for the service who'd work with parts sourced from FVD, etc, that could be faster than the US option.

Robinson's in Onehunga (though the work may not be up to the standard of (Hollywood Speedo IMO). No re gearing required. For a 964 you could attempt them yourself. Its not that hard but getting the soft brass outer ring of an one without interrogating it or damaging the black pain is almost impossible for DIY. I had Robinsons install mine but was not happy with the alignment and the debris left behind the glass so disassembled then all by hand and spent 8-9 hours making them as perfect as I could get them. Painstaking and stressful job. Now my close vision is crap I wouldnt attempt it but you are a young fella so you could do it at your own desire and save maybe $400 fitment charge.
