JV911 Posted 5November, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 5November, 2014 Let's arrange an SMT where we all head into AH to collect the car with you and give it a group christening! Now there's an idea Great head unit. Just what I am looking for. Where did u get it from? Last time I was at Autohaus there just happened to be a car audio guy there installing one in another 964. I just said, "I'll have what he's having". And that was that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevMcRev Posted 5November, 2014 Report Share Posted 5November, 2014 I've got the ultralegerra on our gti. Best wheels I've ever owned. When I listed the car for sale, I had 8 offers on the wheels in the first two weeks.. I hear ya! Main reason I haven't sold our Subaru years ago is I can't bear to part with the wheels! JV911, bummer you couldn't get them to fit... I know they do them for to suit a 996 in 18 & 19"...I have no idea about 964 though. And funny I have almost that same (Advanti) 20" on my commodore! Regardless, this is going to be one hell of a car. Put it this way, I wouldn't care a rats what wheels were on it if I didn't like the car so bloody damn much!

333pg333 Posted 7November, 2014 Report Share Posted 7November, 2014 Cool project and updates. Couple of questions and forgive me as I've buzzed through this thread at work so might have missed something...but didn't you say this wasn't going to be tracked? If so, why the half cage? Just for the RS'ness thing? If you do track it, be aware that those wheels are not advised. Read enough cases of those V.E. wheels cracking on the track. Get a 2nd set for track only would be my advice. Probably bigger rotors than you need but I'm guessing they might even be lighter than stock solids. Love the Green accents. What compression ratio did you go for? Great build and should make all the 'right noises'! Pauly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV911 Posted 7November, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 7November, 2014 I anticipate doing half a dozen or so track days a year. As for the cage, we'll an RS-inspired cage must have a cage...plus the kid in me reckons it looks cool! I've seen the thread on rennlist where a member broke a VE Innsbruck at the track. Apart from saying they had done ~20 track days not much is disclosed about how they'd been used and/or abused i.e. hitting ripple strips and having offs. On the flip side I've read of people using them for many a track day without issue and know personally of a few people using TSW (who make VE) also without issue. I know of a number of people in the VW community that were recommended TSW and VE as track day wheels by retailers. "Born on the Track" is the TSW slogan after all. Having said that I'm looking to get a set of BBS with at least semi-slicks for track days...which for the record I've also seen fail. Catastrophic wheel failures are not uncommon. Compression ratio, cam specs and a few other things are undisclosed/trade secrets. Owgasm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV911 Posted 8November, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 8November, 2014 Rothsport reckon you only need 996 plenum for 3.8s or in race applications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
