I don't know if it is the picture, but that rear wing appears to be twisted. You will get some very 'interesting' aero effects at speed if it is :dont know:
The front of the horizontal surface on the LHS is sitting lower on the vertical support than it does on the RHS. Hopefully there is some form of adjustability to compensate.

Hopefully... Explains the twist though.

Hi, yeah it looks twisted but it isnt bolted down, cos i just finished fitting the air vents i just sat the spoiler plane on its brackets and took pictures, and started to get dark aswell so left it like that for another day to go back and bolt it down....

new RS engine mounts from type 911. car feels more stable on the road and less engine movement under braking and getting the power down even better.

new rear Anti rear bar bushes from Porsche - fitted myself and easy job as 2 bolts each side to undo and the pop out. they are 996 parts oddly. old one had gone hard and its a common fault. clonking has gone as have the annoying rattles

Have you noticed any added NVH with those mounts mate . :thumb:
 
Just had delivery of a couple of dive planes/ canards from Albert Motorsport in Germany , I had the Joe both ones but never fitted them as I wanted something more subtle and the OE 4.0RS ones look better . :thumb: will get them on the car when its back from Hartech. :thumb:

No not at all Phil. Little bit louder on first start up but once I got going and they settled in they are great

Really pleased with them. Handling a lot sharper and more confidence in the car

Good to hear, the rennlines on my gen1 were a bit louder on start up but settled down , I have got some preloved RSS semis to try when I get the car back , looked for preloved as they should already be broken in and reduce the NVH from the off. but failing that if I am not happy the plan was to try the RS type so good to hear first hand .thanks mate
 
For the money well worth it.

Check with Matt they work on the gen 2. The 996 and 997 use longer bolts than the 993 but comes in the kit with everything you need

I always felt the rennline ones and even the rss can be a bit hard for road use and do give more nvh. The rs mounts from Matt have more rubber in them than the semi solid ones but less than oem

Have you done the gearbox Mount too Phil using the power flex yellow street inserts? You have a manual but worth doing. The new ones with the trimmed edges are a lot better than the old ones

Thanks mate , I will bear this in mind if the RSS are a bit harsh :thumb: not doing the GB mount as removed it from the gen1 as too much NVH although power flex do have a reengineered design now thats supposed to have removed the NVH so who knows may give it a try. :grin: :thumb:
 
Didn't get anything under the tree for Christmas so treated the 997 to these...

KW variant 3s. These are the GT3 spec ones so a bit updated from the standard 997 ones and also come with uniball topmounts all round so will tighten everything up nicely

They are also the narrow bodies to allow more wheel clearance on the front so will need to make some little sleeves to get them to fit in the non GT3 uprights.

First mod.

Got some Sports while the Classics are at Exel with Chris getting a refurb. A little extravagant but nice!

Bought a set of Vertini Magic wheels for my 997.2 C2s - same colour as Phil 997's apparently - no pictures because they haven't arrived yet, and even when they do I need to buy tyres - Had been thinking Michelin PS4S but the guys from Projex tell me that Michelin's may rub and I should consider something else.

Having previously rewired the PDK buttons to work like paddles, and currently considering a set of sports seats which I have been offered and retrofitting cruise control I am starting to feel like a slippery modding slope may have been encountered!
