mc968cs Posted 19September, 2021 Report Posted 19September, 2021 That was fast. Just as an aside @Skidmarks - for the two 997 RS variants - which do you enjoy more / and which would you keep if could only have 1? Quote

This may surprise some but, the 2007 I’ve thought about it before and have often driven them back to back. Objectively the 2010 is the better car - Porsche doesn’t go backwards when it releases a new model Why the 07? Short answer, the engine. Seems sweeter, more lively. That’s subjective but I suspect it’s down to the capacity. And loads of development on and off track. The engine is the same as for the GT3 so anyone with one, you know what I’m saying That said, the 2010 is a weapon. Best of breed and all that stuff. With the 3.8 it’s closer to the Cup Car so when it’s balls to the w … on track I’d take it. I’m very fortunate. I love both. And in an odd way, they both have the direct tactility of a long hood.

Mondo74 Posted 19September, 2021 Report Posted 19September, 2021 I'm building a house next year and want to put a hoist in. How high would I need to make the garage door rails to accommodate? Ceiling height is 3.7m but I feel like the door rails are going to be limiting factor as I can't go back much further (only 6.2m long) and need to be able to walk through the back side in to house.

I am thinking of installing a lift for car storage in the new house we are building so I have a similar question as Mondo 74 above. What height would I need as well. If you do consider selling the 3rd lift in a few months please let me know Quote

If you do consider selling the 3rd lift in a few months please let me know Short answer is as high as possible. This will depend on the type of garage door and the desired height above and below the lift (pending what size of car you plan to park in either space). In either case, there are a few variables and details that would need to be worked out in order to determine a definitive height in for each instance. Quote

Your powers of persuasion are immense. The thing is, I’m actually going to a bigger factory...! Having acquired a transporter (naturally), the kids Karting trailer and a couple of race cars that I shouldn’t have ... Flat in surfers? Mmmm. I’m yet to hit 60 so not sure I fit the demographic. That and I’d see the same people there as I do when I’m here! Quote

Honestly talk to the Tuff Lift guys. They can work it out exactly so you don’t have any surprises. I knocked down an old garage not long ago and built a new slightly taller one in its place just so I could fit the lift. My builder worked with Tuff Lift and the garage door folks to get a perfect fit. I still have storage above the lift, and I use the lift to get to it. 911CSR and Mondo74 2 Quote

Peter 996 Posted 26September, 2021 Report Posted 26September, 2021 A panel door can be made to any height you want, it just depends on the depth of your pockets, i just did mine. My door is 4.5 metres wide and 2700mm high at the bottom of the lintel with 3100mm ceiling heights, but when you build you need to stipulate that the rails and guides for the door run as tight as possible to the ceiling. If you take a close look at the door, the whole top panel is useless but it allows me to get the height into the garage that i need as i will be putting in a hoist as well. I'm going to put in a single arm lift to accomodate my 997 GT3 and a VH SL/E. Its going to be tight but it fits On 20/09/2021 at 09:47, Mondo74 said: I'm building a house next year and want to put a hoist in. How high would I need to make the garage door rails to accommodate?
