Tips Posted 16April, 2017 Report Share Posted 16April, 2017 Took a trip up to the hunter via Cessnock, tasted and bought some great wine, enjoyed a picnic lunch looking at the view. Whilst a double pointer weekend and very light traffic I did risk a little spirited driving through the twisties on the way back via Broke and Wolombi this little critter was a bit bigger than the Easter bunny bouncing along the Wolombi rd, lucky he wasn't sitting in the middle of the rd when we came around the bend Niko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelb Posted 17April, 2017 Report Share Posted 17April, 2017 A two car Porsche drive to Wisemans Ferry to test out (and listen to) my Fister exhaust fitted during the week. Great Saturday drive, and the exhaust sounds so much better now on my base 911 Carrera. Niko, Nick S and Tips 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 17April, 2017 Report Share Posted 17April, 2017 (edited) Great to see hear.....another FISTER on the Forum. Great exhaust systems.Did you bring it across from the U.S. or buy it here? What stage did you get?I'm thinking yours might be the first up there in NSW on a 911,I know my old Boxster is humming away up there in Lennox Head and surrounds with a great note from it's FISTER..

Airhead Posted 17April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 17April, 2017 Took the 3.2 out for a quietish drive (Easter Monday - expecting to see lots of Plod out there) today and ended up in Warburton for lunch. A few tourists out and driving accordingly. Also lots of tradies in their work utes and 4WDs loaded up with camping gear and dirt bikes driving like dicks and sitting 2 feet off the rear spoiler trying to intimidate.

ruby82sc Posted 17April, 2017 Report Share Posted 17April, 2017 We drove from Broken Hill to Clare........4 days into a 2 week road trip from Brisbane through SA, VIC, Canberra and back home. Ruby is going well and thankfully the roads are largely sympathetic to the sports suspension (not so nice going into Goondiwindi though) Nick S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed the order with Darin at Fd Motorsports in the US about 3 weeks ago. It took 2 weeks to fabricate and 1 week for shipping. I decided to pay a bit extra and order it with the satin black ceramic finish. It wasn't super cheap with shipping but it sounds great and happy with the whole process. Autohaus here in Sydney fitted for me which cost around $450. I intended to return the cores back to Fister but may just hang onto them as the shipping cost will eat into too much of the core refund they offer. I realise this 'mod' can be done more cheaply but wanted a Fister. Not sure what 'stage' it is as there was only one Fister sports exhaust on offer for the 997.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good bloke to deal with. The satin black ceramic is a good choice too IMHO. Now you mention it, maybe he doesn't do the different stages for the water cooled cars, I did the same with my core, just hung onto it and paid the deposit.Much cheaper option. Good luck with it.

Harvs11 Posted 22April, 2017 Report Share Posted 22April, 2017 This morning I had a choice between lawn mower or Porsche. The mountains were calling...I did the big loop starting in Tecoma, through Monbulk to Launching Place, up to Baw Baw for lunch. Then down the other side to Rawson. The reward for 26kms of unsealed road was a side trip to Thomson Dam. The road from there down to Moe is sweeping, fast and smooth. Back home cross-country along Old Sale Rd to Drouin and a quick run on the freeway then back up to Gembrook. Traffic was much like this most of the day Dalai, Chris-p, LeeM and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhead Posted 25April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 25April, 2017 (edited) Knocked over 510 miles at the weekend with 60 of my closest Porsche friends (mostly in 356s) in and around country Vic. Creswick/Ballarat/ Daylesford/Trentham and all roads in between at the Annual 356 Register Gathering of the Faithful. Lots of driving/good food/good laughs and good wine.31 cars in total.Including some dirt bits. Nice range of models here.

sandy468 Posted 25April, 2017 Report Share Posted 25April, 2017 Clearly you have never driven one.Yep spot on with that, I've always had the uneducated thought that they must be pretty slow, sort of like an old volksy but with a bit more spark. Are they slower than a 912 or do they feel kind of more special than the first of the 911's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
