Interesting article. Lovely car. Way too slammed for our roads and youd never get any decent track camber on a car with wheels that tight in the guards. Interesting to read hes done similar to your plans. Air con fix and rebuilt the calipers. I love those drilled Adams rotors he has on that rig and if I were a 964 owner and those had a good rep Id put them on right away to reduce the issue of pads sticking with hot with brakes on etc. Some good ideas in that article...

You can run up to 7mm spacers (cub centric not bolt on) fine on these wheels on the track.

John. Check with Dean to make sure that switch isnt redundant on ROW config 964s. You must be running WOT maps so something is triggering it. I looked up my management files and my ECU is programmed to revert tables at 60% TPS. Infact I run open loop system 100% of time (no o2 sensors in my car as was motorsport variant for leaded fuel).

Probably go RS geo plus 10mm and set a soft ride, maybe start at 5 front and rear?

PSS10's have landed, had to pay a couple bucks in customs. I should be fine for this. I will take the c3 if 993 is in bits.

John are you signed up for Sat at Puke??

I am missing the C3 - think I prefer it to the 993

Good call Doug. Thats what I ended up doing because they are pretty much all for show and add nothing but extra weight on track when we have no reason to look beautiful there.
Spacers for show. No spacers for go.
They certainly do emphasise the cup 2's though.

No. I looked at my points and figure I need one more round this season but my preference is to do that at HD. Plus I need to use next Saturday to get my Z221s from Browns Bay in time for HD on the 26th.

I assume the track tyres don't rub without spacers on?

My Fuchs rub front and back with Z221s. The fronts rub on full lock, but there is nothing vital there so I've done nothing yet. The rears have 6mm spacers fitted because the driver side has vital oil lines. Sam had rubbing there as well. It would pay to check before hitting the road.

Having had sciatica and a lumber laminectomy in the late 80s I feel for both of you with back pain. If I still had it, I doubt I could drive at all on the track. Debilitating and really affects the quality of life.

Thanks Dave. Agree 100%

Dave's 16" D90 setup is well proven so will be fine. But good point re trailing my 17" 996 track wheels. What's the recommended method to test this (ie suspension travel) with such hard springs? Put them on and jack up the opposite side and check for clearance on the low side?

John McM

I'll simply mention it on my pre SITT check up that they look at it.

Good point re my 17" track tyres. Apart from jacking up one side to get a bit of suspension travel on the opposite side and checking clearances, what's the appropriate way to test without hitting the road and potentially damaging tyres?

Edit: previous post timed out on posting. rRpeating myself thinking the post failed. First post of the day on iPad often does that to me :-(

John McM

It's a hard line so takes lots of abuse. I just put a price of tape over the likely rub point and go for a drive. If the tape is rubbed, then get some spacers. Should be fine on 16" wheels.

O2GO

Bugger. Buyers and sellers remorse? You still technically own the C3, no? Back out and make a profit on the 993?

I'm sure Macca will have something to say in the 993s defense.

In time you'll get it going fast and feeling great I'm sure.
