From the plinth you can see from the front of the house you can see Silverstone CircuitImageImageImage

Set my valve gaps then I wonder where the feeler gauge was! I had left if in the valve cover. Not a great mistake. Thankfully I didn't start the carImage

Added some big rims to the trolley ready to off road across the yard to Barry’s.
Almost had to lift the damn thing to keep it moving when I dropped it off!

My job for last week was sorting out the audio in my 964. I'm not going to bore you with pictures of original 29 year old speakers, because I'm sure you can imagine the state of them. But I am going to show off my new head unit, because it's even better than I had expected it to be:

You can imagine that that's Spandau Ballet that's playing if it makes the image better. :D

Did you replace the speakers like-for-like? If so what did you go for, please?

Sam, when I did mine I replaced them with blaupunkt ICx542 2 way coaxials. Can’t tell how much better than others they are , but they were a big improvement over the ripped original nokias

It replaced a Pioneer that was a stop gap after the high end Alpine that was in it kept turning itself off. It certainly wasn't the original!
Speakers are Pioneer in the doors although the tweeters are the originals, with JBLs on the back shelf. Sounds much better than what was in. The Blaupunkt has RCA outputs if you're a proper audiophile and want to run an amp but it doesn't feel necessary in the confines of a 964's cabin, really...
