John I wouldnt bother. Youd find half a second going to a set of coilovers right now, lowered with a decent geo. 26Kg aint gonna by you narda. The wind direction and velocity on the front straight would make a bigger difference on any given day...
Paul. All looking good. Are they RS engine mounts I see? I assume the turn buckles are drop links? Those FDM reproduction motorsound exhaust tips are the closest available to the real thing and look very nice....now you just need their golden rod shifter and RS fork...

[QUOTE="kiwi 911;11173474"] 1.18.77 is a good start .[/QUOTE
When are you going to send me the run data so we can add it to the comparison table?

Paul. So you've dropped some decent coin just lately! I'm sure it will be all worthwhile to help break below the 1.18 mark for the 993 brigade. Need to keep roughly 2.5-3.0 s between us and the fastest 964 to prove technical superiority LOL!

Apples for Apples. Sean's 964 is closer to Steve's Gulf car than it is Doug or Johns 964s. Its a stripped, ultra stiff, fully caged, tweaked engine ex race car with cup car suspension and PUK clutch. That said would be fund to put Steve into your car next time out there and see what he can benchmark for us?

Wow. Read the thread. He got totally tucked. I feel really bad for him. I hope he wasnt buying one of those offshore to save money - good ones are cheap enough here without having to take risk of shipping and compliance. I agree he is due compensation but I cant see any UK dealer paying for the resto - that's just wishful thinking. Even the shockies were rotten. Thing would surely be a death trap at speed or in an accident....

Really gutting to be done over like that. Most of the guys on Pelican have been supportive.

Put a 3/10's thick block of wood under the accelerator when Paul's driving it. Seriously, it would be good to have a benchmark driver like Paul fang it and lay down the type of times that reflect the cars capability. I would love to know what the '64 can do at HD in the right hands with the right tyres. No pro stuff, just a fast driver. Now that I don't own it I'd be in favour of seeing that happen! Those boxster wheels with the new Toyo's should bolt right on and must be close to the legendary 221's.

No I don't think it was to save money - most of the cars I heard about him looking at were actually more expensive landed. It was about finding a good one given the very limited stock on the market here. Really gutting to be done over like that. Most of the guys on Pelican have been supportive.
