Small update,
Took the car into a Porsche and classic car specialist I use near me, (lots of great metal lurking about 993 964 944 Lotus Esprit etc all nice to nose at while I'm there,
Got it up on the ramp and I had a good look around underneath too, all with the intention of making a list of anything that needs doing, few things to note, the Knocking looseness on uneven ground feeling I'm getting he said is 100% sure to be down to front suspension control arms so I have ordered x2 CTE arms to be fitted and while in to check steering rack joints to be sure, also having H&R Springs fitted as the shocks look good along with new bump stops (I intend on changing to Koni sports next winter) H&R 15mm Spacers I purchased from JZM will be fitted, still deciding on front 10's so I will see, Service with Millers Nanodrive oil and filter + Air and cabin filters, LTT to be fitted, Spart plug and coil heat shields to be changed due to corrosion, a small Air con leak noted so that will be done, I'm going to go along to the workshop and clean all the underside and re coat with clear under seal, I will be doing a FULL deep clean in all four arches exhaust silencers front bumper rads etc,
Full Geo is booked, New Exhaust tips,
Everything else looked great few minor bits of surface rust on pipe clips etc but all will be done in time, Trying to decide on wheel colour I'm leaning on going full gloss silver (polished lip though) or buying some wheels I seen in the for sale section!! really shouldn't as by end of the week I'd have spent £1500 on the 996 already,
I have been driving It for the last few days to work and really loving It, Can't wait for all the other bits to be completed end of the week, this will then improve further on the feel and looks, I like to know all is 'well and clean' underneath so I want to get on the cleaning treating side of things
Other plans that I want to get done sooner rather than later
-Order GT3 dash centre dash delete,
-x4 New tyres (still deciding what to get) I had Yoko's AD08R's and liked them,
-GT3 Seats black leather or Cobra Nogaro buckets trimmed in hounds tooth
-Eibach front and rear anti roll bars
-TopGear 200cell Xpipe
I would love to know if any members have gone down the sunroof delete before? over complicated and over priced? pointless? obviously If i had the choice when it was new i'd have said no to it mine doesn't creak or leak I just miss the nice alcantara headlining my last one had and the clean roof line
uh:
Look forward to getting on with it all!
