Have you had any robes installed in the past 2 or 3 years? Or had to clean any nose prints off the windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a Tudor, three bedrooms. More modern robes in the back of the house. Not sure, buy I'm thinking around Winston ave area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it’s filthy so I will post up better pics once I’m back in Australia and have had time to clean it up, and actually drive it! Congrats! You will love it. Every time I drive mine I get more attached to it! Just had the front & rear bumpers painted this week. Once you are back we should do an ADL Drive with the other PFA Members!

I’m near there but in the Mitcham area. Tyre question for 996 owners: were 225/45r17s standard for the fronts on a 1998 Carrera 2? They look a bit odd and from what I can see the stock size was 205s. The Contis are a bit old and squeal a bit ... and I haven’t even pushed it much.. really ?. Missed out on getting her to Cars and Coffee at Blackwood on Sunday but I did go for a bit of a blast around Belair in the afternoon. Really enjoying getting to know the quirks of the car.

Oggie Posted 30October, 2018 Report Share Posted 30October, 2018 996 C2 Original Front tyre size is 205/50R17, Rear 255/40R17. 225/45R17 is fine. There is only 0.39% difference in diameter between 205/50 and 225/45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted 31October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 31October, 2018 Thanks @Oggie. That’s what I thought. Presumably the previous owner wanted a tad more grip on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JpDp Posted 7November, 2018 Report Share Posted 7November, 2018 Hey @Morpheus How did you get your 911 over on a standard truck? Did it cost a lot? I have just bought one from Sydney and I have had to use a race transporter - as the trucking company said they are too low for normal carriers. It cost about $400 more than normal, which isn't too bad. Originally, they quoted $4.9k ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted 7November, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 7November, 2018 Hi @JpDp, it went through CEVA. So a mix of train and trucks. I think 800 to get it shipped from WA to any door in SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is it coming from, Afghanistan? ? They're taking the piss mate I got quotes today for a 944 from Sydney to Adelaide through CEVA, and that was $919. Prix Car was $700ish. Car needs to be no lower than 120mm at the lowest point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end I went through CEVA too - but they wouldn't allow it on a normal car carrier, so it has to go on their Prestige and Race Transporter. 9 hours ago, LeeM said: $4900???

Main problem is that it's been in Villawood for nearly a week, with no planned date for the move to Adelaide, so I might not even get it next week.

When I purchased mine, it was that low I couldn't come close to getting a 2*4" anywhere under it as it was well below legal! Went standard delivery from Perth to Melbourne with CEVA back in February 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tintin Audio Posted 15November, 2018 Report Share Posted 15November, 2018 Hi @Morpheus You'll love the car. It reminds me off what I went through getting my 996 from QLD back to Victoria, and the feeling of joy when it arrived on a truck outside my home. Mine was a stock 99 Carrera but I'm not a classic man and it soon had it's first few modifications... since then, brakes, exhaust, IMS, wheels, Michelin Pilot Sports tyres, GT3 side skirts and recently AMG paddles to sharpen up the tiptronic : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a plug Dan, wish it was factory. Does make the car look a little cleaner though . 4 hours ago, TwoHeadsTas said: @Tintin Audio, how have you found the paddles? Does it definitely quicken the change up / down? I personally love it. Think it is a little more responsive, especially upshift. It''s the ease of having just two paddles one for upshift and one for downshift that somehow makes driving a Tip so much more engaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
