Paul, someone on here was looking to replace a fan guide (angled part of the couling) theirs had broken off, one of the newbees me thinks!

That's correct Neil, I did say I had one but he was just going to buy new.

Paul car is looking really good, makes me wish I had done more to my car. Catch you on the 28th

Thanks Derek,
There is a very fine line between keeping the car useable for the road and unfortunately this one has crossed it.

You can have a shot on the 28th and see for yourself.

It had 996 GT3 style seats fitted but I had the SPA out my CSL and ordered up a SPG for the passenger side. Will fit another SPA if I can find a cheap enough one but not paying 2.5k for something that's used twice a year.

The GT3 style seats (really comfy)

The car had new Alcons on the front when I got it

However I just couldn't get to grips with them and was either braking too early or out braking myself and running in too deep.

Sold those on and bought a full set of AP's as that's what the CSL is running so had the confidence with them from the off.

Cheers Daz.
As you know from previous experience its hard work, always seems to be something needing done. I really enjoy doing the work though so that helps.
