Now it’s safely tucked away, I have some stuff to do on the car. - fit the paddle shift wheel I did a while ago http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=97582 what could go wrong?! - bumper off to clear debris and check out state of rads - air condensers need replacing while there - fit GT/aero bumper - fit aero skirts - wipers off for a refurb - general return of all black plastic bits that are now a bit grey..! - battery tender wiring so I can just plug in - run down the rust patch I have on the roof and treat it - consider replacing eggshell cracked rear lights - sort sticking sunroof - replace or refurb (depending how mad) wheel nuts - new tyres...and have the repair on the rear alloy checked...probably are them returned while I’m at it Once all that’s done, get it in for a service with @cookster and have the aircon re-gassed Then start on the gixer..
Exhaust sorting, but I’ve sent the original ti system away for repair now, and electrics for indicators and tail light. Then just fit rest of plastics, after an oil change to make sure all ok there and a flush through of the coolant for the same reason: been sat for over 2yrs.
The latest 44 teeth with the K6 should be seen by you for added inspiration, especially as you are a racer at heart!
Just watched it. I took my k6 1000 there. Real handful! And I’ve owned 2 gixer snow, brembo mc and brakes go after 3-6 laps! One thing I’ll upgrade on this if I keep it.
Those guys seem to have brake problems quite often? Your Gixer is basically the same as theirs though right? So you could have come sixth? Or maybe eighth? Yay - Team Bradders of the forum!
Did you have to program the car to get the paddles to work or was it plug and play? I had to have my 997 programmed by a local Porsche specialist to get them to work properly.
Ha, best time round there was 1’44. It won’t win any prizes My old one was the same yes, but with lots of trick bits. My current one is only a 750
Still not got the car out, but have fitted the Noco5 maintenance charger, and a few things on the Porsche wall Tomorrow, I shall be moving it around again so I can get the front wheels off and remove the bumper. What can possibly go wrong...
