I've had it a few months now learning the car, raised it a bit to the min 100mm to make navigating speed humps and driveways easier.
Got it within 1mm on all 4 corners so happy.
Playing with shock settings now but tbh mid way seems like the best compromise.
Porsches require a certain driving style, while 250kw isnt much by todays standards in a car weighing 1300kg it's pretty lively, and with the upgrades would do 4.8 sec 0-100.
Where it really shines is handling, my god, this thing is next level to anything i've driven before including a newish M3.
The combined improvements of shocks/swaybars/tyres make a big difference over a stock 911.
The track tyres will be handy for some days i'm planning at Sandown, Winton and PI.
One thing i've noticed is if you lift mid corner you get a lot of understeer, you have to stay in it to keep the nose planted.
Slow in fast out.
It's so much fun.
Epic buy Norm, well done. Whilst the stock shocks aren't bad (Bilstein B4 spec), those B16's transform the car.
Whose estate did you park it up in front of for the first two pics? :D
Ha! Riverlea Estate is 5 mins from home, took a sneaky pic at the front.Quote:

It is something you can run as a daily in its current guise Norm?
I could no problems, but i wont, the risk of damage at work or at customers is not worth it.Quote:
