Been a while since I updated this so standby for a long post!
Haven't driven the car that much since I got it really as I work in the Middle East and ended up stuck out here with the whole corona virus thing. Good for the bank balance, not so good for getting out for a drive!
Anyways, enjoyed a couple of blasts before I got stuck into the jobs I wanted to tackle
So first things to be done were the RSS engine mounts and intake mod with resonator delete. Had read about the mods on here and thought I'd give them a go. Maybe a slight difference in the way the car puts power down, very subtle though. And a bit more induction noise which is always good.
Changed the number plate for one of my own to go with the other cars and bikes
Stuck in a 997.2 GT3 shifter, again after reading about them on here. Feels great!
Rear wiper delete to tidy up the back end
Centre console delete to tidy things up inside
Then the standard seats were awful and not supportive at all, so was in 2 minds whether or not to order these GT3 reps after reading they were a bit snug, even for skinny people. Well I'm far from skinny and find them great, so glad I ordered them! Got them from Porscheshop in the end. Also got the belts done in red, brightens the cabin up a bit.
Then another blast out to test them out
Found the back issue of Total911 which featured my car(previous owners reg on it back then)
And then last time I was home managed to fit the below. The small steering wheel I grew to like the size of it, but I found it a bit chunky and also when pressing on, changing gear and gripping the wheel with my right hand managed to press the horn a few times due to where the buttons were positioned. So the Momo went on. Whilst in there the standard head unit was updated with a Continental.
And chucked on some H&R antiroll bars, one because I wanted them and two because I get a knock from the left front when turning. Knock is still there, but I like the new anti roll bars. New drop links all round also, front were the worst I've ever dealt with and did not want to come out lol. Angle grinder to the ball joint at top and impact gun shifted them in the end!
A lot of the underbody stuff will come off over winter to be replaced ot refreshed, though it's not too bad.
Had a look at the 4 year old designtek exhaust when it was on the ramps as it sounded like it had a blow. Definitely does so I'm in the process of ordering a Top Gear one. Missed out on the group buy but not to worry.
State of that already!
That's about it for now, looking at Ohlins coilovers next but will have to see how work goes post corona virus. Also decided to sell the C63 when I get home as I genuinely enjoy driving the Porsche more. Not as fast and doesn't sound as gold, but it's just great fun. Also have a long term plan for that GT3 that I mentioned in the first post!
