Thanks. Am delighted with it. Took the car into a specialist for service recently and he said "never reaslised they did a two tone interior for 993"

It was done at Dave The Trimmer http://www.davethetrimmer.com/

He does all the work for RPM I believe

Hi there. Will look out the invoice and PM you
 
Long time with no updates on here as I've been enjoying driving the car and getting used to the last raft of of changes. Just had the car into SP Autobahn for some work

Brakes - new OEM front and rear discs and textar pads. as per various people's advice decided to stick with the standard brakes and glad I have as the braking is vastly improved and more than a match for the power the car has as well as being lighter than bigger options

Rear bumper suports - finally had the old rusty one's replaced having spent some time prepping these myself with undercoat and black top coat I decided to get Stuart to do the work due to lack to time at the weekends. Also had oil tank rust treated and painted

Engine mounts - I swapped from the blue track focused inserts to the blue street ones on my rennline semi solid mounts to see if it helped with vibration and its made a nice difference to the car without it feeling noticeably softer.

Some pics of the work

That's the oil tank, the fuel tank is slightly larger and made of plastic!

ha yes correcto, also in the front of the car - long day - edited!
 
Did 500 miles in the car last week and I'm amazed what a difference changing the inserts in the engine mounts has made. Much less engine vibration and no discernible negative effect on the much improved gearchange.

Nice also to be able to brake hard and not have the car go left!

Rennline gear is top quality :thumbs:

Looking good!! :thumbs:
 
After a very long delay received parts from Ohlins to prevent the front wheel rub issue. I had fitted Tarrett Engineering drop links as a workaround but good to see they have finally remedied the issue



 
Hope they were free!
 
Hi Nick - could you shed any light on the Ohlins parts ? I've recently purchased a set of R&T for my 993 C2 and now wondering how i can also get these parts to avoid the clearance issues you mentioned. Any advice much appreciated, thanks.

Cheers, Will

Hi will - I think you PM'd me and I forgot to reply - apologies

I got one of the first few sets in the UK where RPM Technik had to fit the Tarrett Engineering dorplinks to prevent the clearance issues.

Ohlins then took these shocks off the market whilst it sorted the issue.

It would depend on when yours were made. I'd suggest you speak to whoever you bought them from flagging the issue and send them the serial number to have Ohlins check if they are affected

Cheers

Nick
