They have been really good tbh. I haven’t done much playing with the settings because streetcar, but the lowering has improved stance and still flat on corners. The upside has been smaller diameter springs let me fit 295 rears 😁 with some camber adjustment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingporsche Posted 4September, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 4September, 2019 @reggiegums I’ve got it set pretty much same as stock currently. The street spec goes from stock to light racing. The race spec coil overs are stiff street to hard core racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingporsche Posted 3November, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 3November, 2019 Bumping... Starting to get serious with the sale. As an update, I have had the front bar replaced (new bar, seal-grey paint and subsequently re-wrapped) following a very minor bump from a 4wd towball in a carpark (not my fault, and all sorted by Shannons). No airbag deployment etc just enough pressure to do damage to the bar requiring replacement. Will be posting onto Carsales within the week, so if you're even the slightest bit interested feel free to drop me a line to hear its history and ask away any questions you have. The car has had some modest mods, and been maintained and upgraded to be in great condition. I will throw a minor service into the deal as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any improvements you reckon will make the sale more likely are appreciated. I love a Gulf livery, but the honest truth is it’s limiting your market in my opinion. It’s obviously a well looked after car, but you will be waiting a while for somebody looking for something like this. I would remove the wrap and put the standard wheels back on. GLWS and have a free bump. flamingporsche 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingporsche Posted 22November, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 22November, 2019 @romeodelta thanks for the advice, and the BUMP. It has certainly been a consideration whether to remove the wrap or not. It's only been on CS for 2 weeks and had a gagillion views, 20 saves, but ZERO enquiries. I will leave it as is for a little while before going down the path of "backdating" to original. Luckily, I'm not in any rush to sell and am very busy with work etc so the urgency to unwrap is not there yet. I have had 1 serious enquiry through PClubQld but the lady was hesitant about using a soft top on the track (she currently uses a Macan). Then this week she went and bought a demo 718 Cayman in powder blue 🙄 romeodelta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingporsche Posted 5December, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 5December, 2019 Bump - final price drop. Wrap, rims & sticky tyres will be coming off soon so if you want it as is - ready to race, with all the fruit now's the time to make an offer.
