You need camber to get down wiv the Fleet massive, bro. Innit.Ferry Man wrote:That's just the iPhone wide angle doing that. There's no camber on the back, KS wouldn't talk to me again if there was...Gary71 wrote:Looks fantastic! Is it just some lens distortion or do you really have 3 deg of negative camber on the back!
But from the Cornish viewpoint, I think it looks the dog's whatsits! Well done!

Re: 993 restoration
Glorious Paul, I've never really been a fan of the Speedlines but on your car they look fabulous!
A really fantastically well executed project, you should be very proud of yourself.
Well done!

Re: 993 restoration
Very nice Paul
Like new! Although I fear it may have cost that also...
Great stable of cars you have, need to swap the 993RS for a 964RS though I think now to finish it off, in either yellow or rubystone.

Re: 993 restoration
Looks stunning Paul. Wheels are spot on . Ride height looks spot on too, what is it at , RS height ? Or lower ? I'm running RS + 5mm ( 964 rs ) and find it perfect for what I want .

Re: 993 restoration
Hi Paul, thread has been fantastic and car is now epic. If it stance is with full fuel load it looks perfect. Other than that if empty I would only lift the front 5/10mm. It's perfect pal.
Re: 993 restoration
Oh, it's your car but I would have had this set up with fast road spec, RS camber and all, as 993 really respond well on the road in this fashion. Love it.

Re: 993 restoration
Terrific looking car, Paul. Congrats to all involved.
How does it drive compared with the RS? Will that now be mothballed?
