    First proper drive in 5 years :)

    So my signature outlines what I've been up to for 5 years

    Car has been running for a few months now but I was having quite a few issues that I couldn't get on top of. I gave my car to a mate and Porsche savant who runs his own race engineering shop. This was a no favours, pay by the hour job that had to happen. End result is both worth the cost and remarkable; car is corner balanced, wheel aligned, ride-height set. All weber linkages were replaced for new (half the the tuning battle I suspect), and mixtures set properly on a sniffer.

    The car now pulls like a train and drives beautifully. New Konis, torsion bars 21/27, 15mm sways, and Michelin TB15 rubber have the car feeling like it's a lot more car than I am driver Ride height specifically set for our goat tracks and to avoid bump steer...

    Really enjoying the driving experience now!

    Great work.......god she does look good in that dappled light, it really shows the depth of some of the blues that Porsche used.

    Not yet... So far I get along with my neighbours. I'll take an allen key with me next time and pop them off out of town!
