I have often pondered on what makes a great car.
Is it the engineering? The sound it makes? The steering feel? The way it makes you feel hooning around at 5 am on B roads?
I think its all of those things, but what binds all of those together and makes a truly great ownership experience is a good forum with good members.
There are many good members on here its too long of a list to mention them all. However a thank you is in order for DEMORT who came to my moment in need as he has done countless times before for others, offering sound mechanical advice and even even going out of his way to go above and beyond to help me.
What an absolute legend of a guy. A true enthusiast and a man with a genuine passion for Porsche.
Thanks Demort. Really appreciate all of your help.

The wing.
I bought my cheery little C2S from member Jason last year, always with the intention to improve dynamics, and aerokit the car. The remit was simple.
I was less of a fan of the classic 911 shape instead in my mind I thought it kinda looked weird without a wing. A bit to Subtle, a bit too plain jane if you will.
Dynamics improved with Ohlins Coilovers, RSS engine mounts, New arms and bushings all around. Then Phill997 and the... Finn kind of swayed me into gearbox mounts, and the induction mod, then nearly swayed me into an IPD plenum but that's another story (a very dangerous combo those two maketh)
So whilst all this was going on, I managed to slowly gather the parts required for full Aerokit. However in addition to this:
Some very lightweight wheels. A Cup steering wheel and a Notorious CAE shifter.
Work life has been, and is super busy, so its taken a while for me to send everything off for paint, I have been aching to see everything on the car and often find myself trawling the internet for pictures and user experiences.
However Monday this week I dropped everything off to the painters and as I was leaving the house I glanced back and it hit me.
The lines of the rear are just so good, The curves, the details , its... its ... perfect?
perfect........ without a wing.
So now I dont know, do I keep this machine winged or wingless....
What do you guys think? :dont know:
