Mike-S Posted 2July, 2017 Report Share Posted 2July, 2017 Fuch me! Are they alloys?I have a feeling they would cost as much as my car - but that is PERFECT!Yep, alloys. Marc designed them and had them made for the blue car, I believe the owner has painted them black.Those are a 17" rim, but don't look it which is why I like them. I'll find out how much they were...

Mike-S Posted 9July, 2017 Report Share Posted 9July, 2017 Not wishing to blow smoke up your arse, but that slide demonstrates you're used to a car going from under you, most would've panicked and lobbed too much opposite lock on.

Dab of oppo and away ??If I didn't think the marshals would get upset and start waving flags at me I would've loved cut a whole lap slideways!The wet made it a good day to explore the cars handling and learn it though.It should handle much better once I get the broken engine mount & blown rear right shock replaced! Didn't have time before the event.And the clutch only just made it home... hugh, Chris-p and Mike-S 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonk Posted 12July, 2017 Report Share Posted 12July, 2017 Plus some Slideways action! Ha ha. When you said you reached for the demister, I thought you meant you did it on the straight and missed your braking marker, not missed your turn in. Love it, right in front of the only track marshal!

I'll just turn up and drive anyway.Early bird gets the garageHalf of the PFA garage gang SimonK, Pork Chops, with TP-993 and Hugh out of shot..Couldn't find my phone mount last night...so here's a lap with a view of the sky.Best time for the Boxrod was...In your best Jeremy Clarkson accent..."You did it...... In One minute..... Thirty..... Seven... .06 seconds! Happy with that for a wannabe star in a reasonably priced car.

edgy Posted 22August, 2017 Report Share Posted 22August, 2017 I like it that you are tracking it... I think at some point in the near future when I feel like I have achieved what I want in the GT3, a boxster is in my future for some cheap thrills.

TrevMcRev Posted 5September, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 5September, 2017 (edited) After recovering from spending 40% of the vehicle purchase on clutch, flywheel, LN IMS, etc etc, I've just ordered some KW coilovers for the 'rod.Looking forward to getting them in when they arrive!And my Momo wheel sampler pack arrived too!I got 2 x Mod07, 1 in leather and 1 in suede, and a Mod78 in suede also.I think the leather Mod07 will go in the boxrod, the suede Mod07 in the 924.The Mod78 is kind of a spare... it would suit a more mid 80's to early 90's car in my opinion. I guess it could go in the lancer...but if someone wants to make an fair offer on a brand new genuine Momo Mod78 wheel let me know.

Zelrik911 Posted 6September, 2017 Report Share Posted 6September, 2017 Noted that you got a new LN IMS. But dont throw the old one away. When you get a bit of time on your hands & in a destructive mood; could you cut the old bearing in half and inspect it for internal wear?Your Boxrod is a prime example of the P. cars that buyers are scared of. Curious to know if the old IMS is still good internally or partially worn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 6September, 2017 Report Share Posted 6September, 2017 Steelies!lol got me bad. I'm like WTF is going on there? That looks weird....then the penny dropped in my tiny mind! Oh, and this is where your Boxster is heading! GUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
