All set to go for a nice little scenic drive…

Half hour of cursing later and can’t get off the bloody drive 😡

 

Car looks great even though you can’t drive it 👀

Are you on X73 suspension as it looks lower than a PASM set up in that pic?

Passenger door card, glove box, cup holders, centre console trim all successfully fitted yesterday - then ran out of time. Drivers side trim, lower dash, door card and the armrest to do today. Wife’s fingerless gloves were appreciated 😆

100% body colour (what I’ll be doing with mine) but they look great in person as friend has them on his Rhodium Silver S colour coded.

A 718 steering wheel just showed up 🫣

You absolute bugger 😂 my interior parts have just been delivered too, feels like Christmas.

Wow, that will be nice when fitted, did you get the side trims to the console as well? On the 718 this part has the stitching I would like to add on my 981. 

 

The parts weren’t available from the breakers but also as Daz said they won’t line up with 981 stitch so no.

They are the silver finish sadly.

That’s good to know, I’m thinking Pepita centres for the seats which I think will then compliment the Crayon deviated stitch on door cards and arm rest.

Question I now have is to whether To sell my OEM parts which are all in great condition - will then potentially make it an amazing bargain.

Very nice mate! You get a bargain?

 Thank you, yes I believe was a decent price, the seats were far too expensive so have a bit of a plan for my seats 👍

Picked myself up a 718 GTS interior - my GTS had the Race-Tex delete option so it’s basically got an S leather interior. It was the biggest concern of my car when I bought it but with limited manual GTS available I conceded this as something I could resolve in due course.

Cleaned inside & out then popped on Ctek, also ordered an OEM Porsche indoor cover to keep dust off whilst it’s not used much over next few months.

After lots of deliberating I’ve actually gone with a 10mm all round approach too, this thread has helped so thanks all. Saw quite a few pics where the 15mm looks just slightly too wide and Tony’s pic above reaffirms that’s too much for me personally.

I have H&R springs and the x73 arb’s being fitted after Christmas, spacers will go on then too so I’ll put pics up once everything fitted.

Much better 😎😎

mine are currently satin black but going to colour change, Safe choice is satin Platinum but I’m feeling slightly punchy and may go satin Aurum Gold ( my cars Guards Red).

Lovely car, coming from another slightly biased owner 😁

Spyder runs X73 👍

Think I was the one who produced that a few years ago. Will try and find the original, should be on my old laptop.

I copied it when saw it posted somewhere 👍

Unfortunately can’t do anything to improve as it’s not my pic.

Can read on my iPad, probably a struggle on phone.

HTH 👍

…and another one.

Thanks awesome, that is on my wants list too would sit so much better on x73 springs and do you know we can code the dampers to accept shorter springs too, there is actually a setting for it!

718 pasm -20 dampers would be an even better upgrade as they are improved.

Do you have a link to the data.you mention?

The setting on the dampers for the shorter springs is very interesting - do you have any more info on that? Agreed on the 718 SPASM shocks being a good retrofit too - hadn’t even considered that option.

Have a read of this thread 

https://www.planet-9.com/threads/pasm-to-x73-retrofit-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly.139465/

There’s a graph with spring rates posted in there which is interesting and poster Lovetoturn’s feedback is interesting to read.

Up in 15 minutes 👍

Watched, added to the parts list for suspension upgrades - great video thank you. Dropped you a like, already subscribed 😂

I’m going to add lowering springs to the pasm shocks too. I have a set of H&R which are popular but am going to enquire about the X73 springs to run on the pasm shocks. On one of the US sites someone has done this with great feedback and a lot of data to back up the positive outcome of this combo, plus I think the car sits too high too.

If I could delete the pasm and run an Ohlins Road & Track coilover I would as even in sport+ it’s not stiff enough for my driving tastes. Also looking at dropping to a 19” lightweight wheel Apex/BBS/Advan but they are further down the line.

Tomorrow or Tuesday Raffe. I've already done an arb video but this is the follow up.

Thank you sir, yes watched the ARB upload 👌😎

And something else I found but you'll see.

How far away are you from uploading the video as I’m collecting parts for a suspension upgrade. Going to do X73 ARB’s front and rear.
