Re: Exhausts - gt3 style

That looks good value, I'd give one a try if it was possible to remove and re-weld the tips/outlets?

Exhausts - gt3 style

I'm looking for an all stainless gt3 style rear silencer. Just wondered if there are any suppliers or manufacturers based in the uk who can knock these up. Was looking for alternatives to the Dansk range, M&K appear to produce a nice quality unit but they start to get expensive with duties etc. ...

Re: Complete driveshafts or refurb with new CV joints?

Hi Graham, I dropped my drive shafts over to them, they are only 40 mins away, if too far I'd recommend you give them a call, I am sure they can oblige and you won't be disappointed. My shafts came back looking brand new, returned greased up with gaskets, ready to fit. They are a proper engineering ...

Re: Complete driveshafts or refurb with new CV joints?

I sent mine to Dave Mac prop shafts in Coventry for complete refurbishment and new CV joints. They came back as new, the shafts painted and splines all checked, total cost £236 plus vat.

Re: WTB Pair of front wings for ST backdate

Hi Sean,

Could you give me an idea of condition, some pics would be a great help I will drop you a pm with my email. Would I be correct in assuming swb front wings are identical to the later lab cars?

Cheers

WTB Pair of front wings for ST backdate

I'm looking for a pair of reasonably good early front wings, don't mind a little work but would prefer not too much corrosion. Was supplied with a pair of EB fibreglass front wings but fit is near impossible to get right.

Re: Lot of 911 parts, some rare and early, some not!

DOH...my error, got rather excited, they are clearly not opening rear quarters, should have read description properly.

Re: 2.7 CIS engine

Also, think they had a terrible reputation in the U.S. for reliability, as the engines were designed to run very hot due to stringent emissions regulations and this had an adverse affect on the life of these engines.

Re: 2.7 CIS engine

The 2.7 I believe were last of the magnesium crank cases engines and a direct descendant of the RS block. They can be expensive to rebuild, not that any are particularly cheap! My engine is in the process of being buttoned back together, also a 2.7 and during the process of accumulating parts and do...
