    been out today to celebrate the eldest's exam grades, chased the exhaust progress late this afternoon and they say its on and working but they had to replace one of the vacuum lines....ready to be picked up but everyone bar me has had alcohol at lunchtime (at the meal out) so no-one could take me over there to pick it up....and tomorrow I have a full day of work so eldest and Mrs B will be picking it up between them tomorrow a.m. with luck :bana:

    Si, remind me did you have PSE before? and swapped it for Topgear?

    Yep , mine was original Porsche PSE -  straight swap ,didn't have to use any of the lines etc supplied with it and when I got the phone call to say it was ready followed by - "its loud" 😆

    ABORT ABORT!!

    talk about disappointment....

    I dropped it off last night, got a call at 2pm this afternoon to say 'service and brake fluid has been done, the mot is tomorrow (WTF it should be being done today) and the exhaust hasn't been delivered as 'lost in transit'

    ARGH FFS

    Anyway they got the MOT sorted and no issues with that but now I have to sit and wait for a call to rebook once they have the exhaust in the workshop...I feel

    Carbon tips - £1389 for the exhaust 

    Porsche Mode - fitting charge including some extra clip things £410 including vat

    Well collected from Porsche Mode this afternoon  - OMG  I was like a kid all over again driving home,I'm not ashamed to say I had the valves open all the way home - lots of burbles, pops,bangs .... it is a little louder and much better than the original PSE muffler - so glad I bought! 

    And with the valves shut a very sensible note not to upset everyone around,of course 😀

  15. Front Grills, do they raise temps?

    in 981

    Posted · Edited by mrbikerdood

    I bought some black mesh from ebay,took my 981s to Dovehouse in Rushton in Northants and got them to take the bumper off and fit the mesh behind the grills - they've been on about 6yrs now - temp never raised or ever had an issue & cost me only £80 for labour, (bumper has parking sensors so didn't fancy doing it myself)

    I got some from Aliexpress for my now gone 981S.  They don't seem to be available on there now. What colour are your wheels? (as I still have quite dark grey ones like these if you are interested)
