My photoshop skills impress even me! They do look awesome - nice work!

Drying well. Can't wait until daylight to see if I left any patches.

You're joking right Macca? Paul will have recaro PP's in the 993 within 6 months in a bid to break into the 9/10ths

Half the roadie 993's on this forum are at this spec. Maybe not 221's but everything else. The 221's will go at the end of the SITT.

Come to think of it all the 993's on this thread have lowered / modified suspension.

Once you guys have finished taking the micky out of me,

I need to rally the PCNZ members into helping out for this fund raising drive please.

Doug - Maybe you can arrange a 'proper drive' beforehand??

Looking forward to hearing your rebuild plans once it is all worked out.
I'm in LA for another 8 hours, if you can find a source I can grab one for you. Call me on +1 720 381 8754

1. We won't stop taking the mickey out of you - ever - sorry!

2. PCNZs turn to stuff up the scheduling as that's the Targa Sprint day. So Doug will be otherwise engaged, along with a bunch of the rest of us. Shame as I would have been in for this. Gary is taking my old C4 though.

Isn't Paul doing the Sprints as well? Right now, my diary is booked to watch that. Not that I'm sure old Porsche rides are what floats the youngsters' boats these days.

Another day and more progress.

The Plastidip has dried to a more even texture. Very acceptable for track tyres.

Also good news on the throttle. Some of you will remember I had clutch engagement issues after the rebuild. The pedal was at a different level to 'normal' boxes so we sourced a second hand box from Steve. It fixed the clutch problem immediately, but unwittingly impacted the throttle.

Basically I have NEVER had full throttle travel or the benefit of WOT triggering on the ECU since the rebuild. How much? We don't know, but the WOT switch is supposed to trip at 78% throttle. Mine never tripped.

I'm not going for a time attack on Wednesday in the Normal group but will take the AIM to record data for later comparison i.e. I will run sectors at full noise.
