PaulQ Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 4 minutes ago, Jason986S said: Bit of a bargain @PaulQ. Long as it's not a floppy Chinese momo Rep you'll be good! Looks smart even if the 3 point suede joins are abit "unfinished" looking. A bargain! Suede wheels are nice to use. They are really good value. The horn push is a bit rough and ready, but will bin that and the joins are the only things that let it down a little, but its as solid as the Momo I took off. The stitching is fine, and the material is a good fit. They do dished wheels too that dont appear to have the joins like this one, which I would have bought but didn't want to change the Boss as well. Never had a suede one before, and it feels lovely tbh. One day i'll buy a 996 GT3 cup wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Sounds good @PaulQ. I had a "half dished" suede wheel on my previous car and it was perfect. Slightly closer and slightly away from catching the indicators, but they remained in comfortable usable reach. I've got my Royal trimmed factory wheel, which other than being a tad big, is nice.

PaulQ Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Changed the oil & filter for the third time in my ownership. Happy to report that the filter was spotless Changed the sparkplugs, and the tubes & O rings on the drivers side as they were leaking. leaking spark plug tube O rings by paul quick, on Flickr BSP by paul quick, on Flickr Also put some wheels on with fat tyres (987 sizes) CW by paul quick, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refurb them and use them as my Summer wheels, unless you want to make me a very silly offer for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allatsea Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Not today but Saturday. 375 miles. Surrey (0615) - Cardiff (0900 - 1400) (ProSpeed Exhaust for a bypass) - Crawley(1630-1730 pick up middle son) - Home(1900). Ran beautifully and sounded better post Cardiff..... Computer said 34mpg, real maths said 29.95mpg; not bad for a 3.2 that's 17 years old. AaS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spic Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Spent a few days at the ring, was very pleased how the car handled the laps altough the 2.7 was a little under powered on some sections, also got some time in on the GP track, and due to it having massive run offs I really felt I could push on, gees it was like a go-kart ???

JohnnyUK Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Swapped my 00 coolant cap for an 04 version... Still lost a litre over a 20 mile drive... Boot floor is dry, no moisture around the cap... Tank felt dry underneath... I have had a small pool just in front of the rear wheel but it was wet today so could not check. Any suggestions ?

allatsea Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Took the steering wheel off to prove to myself that I could; the left hand airbag securing bolt was a total nightmare to 'unstick', main securing nut came off easily, as did the wheel itself. Now ready to take it off again in a few weeks for a refurb when I go on holiday. Always good to come home to a waiting parcel and an excuse to go back to the garage.....

AaS I bottled taking mine off. I let Jack at Royal take it off and swap for my refurbed Wheel - he knows what he is doing for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
