Or even, get the bugs off from Tuesday? 😋 Quite right about leaving it be, I'm more a 'leave it stock' type these days. But I do love that front end, especially in a dark colour. Mine's now the confirmed daily driver for the next little while, the "bad weather / going-to-a-tight-carparking-space" old BM having been loaned to my Dad. michel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmarks Posted 14November, 2020 Report Share Posted 14November, 2020 Saved myself $600 today. The 2.4S had flat batteries even though I had the trickle charger on for the duration of the LockDan. Jumped it and drove 50km. No charge. Looked like they were cactus. Then noticed that the main power cable was loose and barely in at the terminal end. Reinserted and drove for about 20 km. Sorted! This afternoon it’s fitting the new Pagid’s to the 2.7 Carrera to see if that gives it any better pedal bite as right now, it’s push the pedal and a couple of Hail Mary’s ...

Orange paint, ducktail, mfi and Pirelli CN36’s, just need some of those calendar photos on the wall and it’s 70’s nirvana! Car looking awesome and (in a totally non 70’s way) hope those new pads make it stop as well. Love it 👍 Skidmarks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy73 Posted 16November, 2020 Report Share Posted 16November, 2020 Been meaning to do this for about 6 weeks and was worried it was going to be a ball ache. Turned out to be a half hour job. Fitted aftermarket radiator grilles to the front of the 991. Was a lot of gunk inside each of the cavities (leaves, bugs, gum nuts etc). Vacuumed it all out and then a very simple install. Radiators now protected and a clean factory look. TwoHeadsTas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoHeadsTas Posted 20November, 2020 Report Share Posted 20November, 2020 Not my car, but checked out the progress of a mate's car - 992 Carrera S being converted to road rally car. These things have got 9 computers in them!!! Roll cage in, non-sunroof roof panel about to be put in, seems like there'll be a bees dick space between the top of the cage (custom job by Jason White, very neat) and the panel..... I'll see if I can get the OK to take and post some photos next time...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam Arnott Posted 15December, 2020 Report Share Posted 15December, 2020 Thanks to Jason A who had a factory Becker CDR-220 he wasn't using, I managed to replace this over lit horror show and remote CD changer in the GT3. Loren over on the Renntech forum was able to supply the security code from the radio serial number. Also added a Yatour Bluetooth connector so can play my music and use the phone hands free via the radio and keep the factory look. tomo, spiller, micknine01 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
