Dreamr Posted 5September, 2020 Report Share Posted 5September, 2020 Bought and fitted a centre console pocket shelf. Brand new in stock at PCW made life much easier .. When PCM 2 was fitted there was a 5 x CD storage pocket on top of the air controls .. Totally useless today so a bit of storage for a phone and keys is much better ...

Pembo Posted 5September, 2020 Report Share Posted 5September, 2020 Battled with the rear calipers for two weekends. Now i'm quite unpopular due to the shed hours tally. Lucky she loves me. Completely seized calipers were a battle of mechanical wits and zen with stubborn bolts and very stubborn pistons. This car had sat unmaintained apart from the odd drive for 22 years. I'm just too stingy to give in and buy new ones. All fixed. No pictures sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted 26September, 2020 Report Share Posted 26September, 2020 changed my 997 C2 S engine mounts out to semi solid made by Torque Solutions .. Very Easy DIY took a relaxing hour to change over and I gave the airbox a clean and the areas on the chassis that are under the airbox some TLC also .. I have to say at first impressions I really like the extra NVA above 3000rpm ,shifting has become more direct and less knotchy ,the car is more Raw and if anything more 911 the mechanical noises have also increased more from the rear. My only negative point is that I have small buzz coming from were the seat belt goes into the interior plastic cover just under the rear right hand quarter window . This seems to happen on rev matching when down shifting , i may have to remove the panel and see if I can figure out what is vibrating in there ,it is not a terrible buzz and only happens when you are on it hard ,,still something I think I may see if I can fix in the near future ... considerable size difference final instal pic tomo, Stepo, P-Kay and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 26September, 2020 Report Share Posted 26September, 2020 Completed a small but practical mod that I've been meaning to do for a while after finding the how to on the net. In short, I've placed a rear spoiler switch on the dash and piggy backed the wiring from the stupid switch in the footwell. They both work as intended and is easily reversible. I've used a rear spoiler switch from a 996TT so it looks factory and lights up like the rest of the switches. Now I don't need to fumble around my feet to put the spoiler up. Put it in the bottom spare so it's away from the PSM and don't accidentally hit that. Ordered the switch from PCW and it arrived from Germany in about 3 weeks. Needed some wire and bits ... All up about $80. Well spent me thinks! .. 😀 Before and after ... Troubleshooter, JWM, tomo and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pembo Posted 26September, 2020 Report Share Posted 26September, 2020 Out for a drive today. Starting to tick off all the suspension components that need replacing. That would be - all of them! One thing at a time. Fair chance these torsion bars have not seen the light of day since 1973. I hopefully may have found the final and major cause of the wobbles. So far have done the rear sway bar bushes and drop link bushes, front sway bar drop links, front ball joints, Transmission mounts, engine mounts, Rebuilt the rear brake calipers, cleaned the lines replaced the flexible brake lines, replaced all the shift linkage bushes, replaced fuel filter, fuel lines spark plugs plug leads points dizzy cap, rotor, fan belt. Had the rear wheels unbuckled by Depulu. New front tyres, but still waiting for the rears, thanks Virus. Still to do rear torsion bar bushes and then rear trailing arm bushes when i drop the motor and trans. Also will do the leaking rocker arms with the little seals i've read about, but the leak is not too bad at the moment. The front calipers are next then to address the CIS system, The warm up injector seems to be inoperative and she's drinking fuel like i drink beer. After setting the timing properly she's going well. Have hunted for rust and only found minor issues, Phew! Harsh, tomo, Niko and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick V Posted 26September, 2020 Report Share Posted 26September, 2020 Had GT3 in for service @ Buiks Friday. First time since ownership change & Craig moving on, but I’ve got to say that Neil & the team were great to deal with. She’s ready for the Adelaide Classic rally in a month’s time...... bring it on!
