Took it for a mixed road 50 mile drive and the difference is night n day. Will check the plugs after it cools down to check the burn. Oil pressure was as it should be.
Idle jets would only effect the idle circuit, unless changing the jet has cleared something else in the circuit, as this would not effect drivability further up the rev range?

The improvement came about by way of not cutting out when decelerating. Such as junctions, lights and roundabouts. They made a massive difference. The car never cut out once.

Excellent result then, it makes quite a difference with such small increments up or down to improve things.

Thanks Al
Hadn't planned on CLM as unsure about Legends [1975-2015 ] format - however Porsche Club France gave me a free ticket to compensate for crap tracklap last year [ and reimbursed tracklap fee] so silly not to.
Ian Comerford is joining me the day after in his fabulous gold 911 hotrod- spin down the Route Napoleon/ D2 to Antibes - three nights there and then on to OutClassicLaw in Gaillac for three days, Ian then heads North, I do 2 nights in Pyrenees and then ferry back to Ireland from Bilbao.

Gave the 911 a wash, glass super wash and set the pressures etc ready for the Silverstone Sunstede bash of Porsche's anniversaries etc. on Sunday.

Saturday all sold out I read, hope Sunday will be a bit easier.

Going to be hot, so aircon fully open.

Also bought some demon Pagid pads for the car, but the fronts are on back order, so hoping to get them late next week.

Break-in procedure is crazy, but hope they will be a big upgrade on the current Brembo pads.

Hope to compete in the car again soon at Shelsley Walsh, nostalgia rules....
