Jason A Posted 16March, 2021 Report Share Posted 16March, 2021 Hi @hugh Well spotted, you probably noticed no airbags in the door trims also 😝 I can’t remember the brand - but I can tell you it’s a piece of work. I will try to share a picture Someone on here will chime in hugh, spiller and luzzo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 16March, 2021 Report Share Posted 16March, 2021 It looks great. I did notice the door trims TBH but was too scared to mention the nil airbags! TwoHeadsTas and Jason A 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 16March, 2021 Report Share Posted 16March, 2021 I reckon thats a CAE shifter @Jason A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrera28 Posted 16March, 2021 Report Share Posted 16March, 2021 I reckon it looks more like a Numeric Racing short shifter: The CAE Short shifter looks a bit squatter: luzzo and Jason A 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A Posted 16March, 2021 Report Share Posted 16March, 2021 I thinks it’s Numeric ✅ I have the CAE unit in another car of mine With a lengthened shift rod on the numeric unit in my GT3 LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiller Posted 16March, 2021 Report Share Posted 16March, 2021 I’m surprised shifter upgrades aren’t discussed more often on these cars. Factory shifter and cables are awful. I feel like I’m going to break the shifter every time I change gears. Plastic fantastic. hugh and Jason A 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A Posted 17March, 2021 Report Share Posted 17March, 2021 I have a mate who just put a CAE in his 993 GT2. I would say CAE is a tighter shift but does take a bit of getting used to over the Numeric unit. Both are a dramatic improvement over stock I have both std and factory short shifts in 996 cars - if I had to choose one it would be CAE for a track focused or spirited drive car. Downside on CAE is its a bit in your face by comparison. All the factory stuff is clunky, particularly when car is cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 17March, 2021 Report Share Posted 17March, 2021 997 GT3 Shifter is great! I am going to do that with cup car cables when I get around to it... its a bit stick in mud IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factory shifter and cables are awful. I feel like I’m going to break the shifter every time I change gears. Plastic fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough of my Numeric short shifter. It's all metal and beautifully engineered, when compared to oem 996 and 997 shifters having some plastic components, I don't understand why anyone gets oem over Numeric. I found on the track the shifts, with standard shifter, were a bit long relative to standard clutch and found I was having to hold clutch on floor for a fraction longer to avoid hitting synchro particularly on longer shifts such as 2-3. It has three positions you can set shifter in so you get to decide how 'short' you want your short shifter and I love the fact that you fit it under the standard centre console and therefore it's low key and subtle. From my experience I would not hesitate to do it again if I got another 996 or 986. spiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not tried a numeric shifter but I'm a big fan of an OEM shifter with the function first upgraded components fitted, coupled with cup car cables.

MR901 Posted 17March, 2021 Report Share Posted 17March, 2021 I've also got a CAE shifter.....I love it & would go out of my way to buy another if I changed cars....

1st Posted 20March, 2021 Report Share Posted 20March, 2021 The shifter in the Fitzy Falken car ... anyone any idea what this one is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiller Posted 20March, 2021 Report Share Posted 20March, 2021 That’s looks like a factory housing/base that has been modified with an aftermarket mechanism, perhaps a B&M? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 20March, 2021 Report Share Posted 20March, 2021 The Fitzy car was previously running a sequential box, I believe Nick Cascone did the swap so he maybe able to answer the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiller Posted 20March, 2021 Report Share Posted 20March, 2021 @1st B&M short shift. Looks like yours has a different stick inserted into the guts of the B&M mechanism to accept the threaded gearknob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason A Posted 29March, 2021 Report Share Posted 29March, 2021 Just needs to go to Motec for final tune, then the cage will go back in. I also have the Speedline wheels being refurbished, so then it will be as raced - minus the livery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason A Posted 10April, 2021 Report Share Posted 10April, 2021 So here is the question - do put my car back to as raced livery - see picture. The car won the Porsche Cup in 2002 in this livery. I have the black Speedlines, was only going to put Century, Bon Jane and maybe Dunlop - pass on all the small sponsors or do I leave it stock, a sleeper car What does everyone think GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 10April, 2021 Report Share Posted 10April, 2021 For historic race cars I would always normally say original livery. Given it is road registered, as it sits is stunning and IMO I would leave às is. If you added the stickers, surely you would have to go all in and fully replicate?
