Did some 'fettling' in readiness for two days at Tregrehan hillclimb. I, too, hope the forecast is wrong...

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Maybe the long trip North to the “King of Hills”, Doune, will be really worthwhile.
We are supposed to have rain tonight and tomorrow morning (Friday), and clearing for Saturday and Sunday.
Sounds OK to me!

That’s a shame Graham. See you Saturday
Prescott looks to be light showers now, whereas earlier this week it was heavy rain. Wets on board just in case!
Have good weekends racing

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Received and fitted my rev counter back from JDO as it has been "upgraded" to work with the 123 dis that I now have. Thankfully all works, was sceptical as speaking with my local specialist he was seeing success rates hit and miss meaning they had to go back for further work.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Enjoyed hearing the unmistakeable sound of the Flat 6 air-cooled engine when I started my car after its prolonged winter hibernation. Took a short trip down the road, to check tyre pressures. MOT next week. I know that I don't need to have an MOT inspection, but I prefer it that way.

Ever get that feeling you're falling down a rabbit hole?

The parcel shelf looks a bit worse for wear. Replacements available ( variations in model year) and a hundred or so spot welds to drill out.RobFrost wrote:Ever get that feeling you're falling down a rabbit hole?

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Only a hundred? Oh good, I started this as a break from drilling the floor out.
It actually looks like I got off lightly. I've yet to give it all a thorough stabbing with the screwdriver but tentatively, that say four by four inch patch near the camera is the only bad part. That's the spot where water was dripping in and on to the (already replaced) right hand back seat.
Looks like this will cover it. https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod1354 ... 911-68-71/

Had fun slip-sliding at Tregrehan. This was a dry run, but not much traction under the trees.

That looks like your new engine really shifts.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
On the first run, I nailed it from the line and it went straight to the red line (well, it turned the shift light on as the tacho isn't working), shifted into second and the same again. There's no comparison with the old set-up - 125bhp to 185bhp in one hit works wonders.hashman wrote:That looks like your new engine really shifts.
