Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Re: New member from Leeds. 911T

Looks a fab project, and having been ‘personalised’ quite so much over the years there is zero inclination to make it anything other than your own spec. Enjoy the freedom!

Re: Tyre sizing?

Been looking and if it’s definitely possible to run 195/65s I may option for Pirelli cinturato all season SF2 r15 95v XL tyres. £82 each. Anyone tried them?

Bit late to the party as ever, but put me +1 down for just Saturday (C&M + Drive) as I’ll head over to see my Mum that night as she’s local (ish)

Re: '65

If it makes you feel better Barry described your shell to me as ‘relatively straightforward’ :) I guess working on JPs Jag projects so long now that another 911 (must be over 60 by now?) is almost muscle memory.
