Took a chance on a second hand "seca" exhaust on ebay. I was watching that. Quality bit of kit. I didn't get in a bidding war with you because I found some posts from people who reckoned it was awesome but a bit loud for day to day use. Record it and post a vid when it's done.

Menoporsche Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Starting issue only happened 3-4 times in 2 months so I’ll tell you in 2 months... spins a lot faster though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjam Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Exhaust leak fixed (both sides for 150 quid, could have been a lot worse), MOT passed and @Mr96er's old wheels & winter tyres fitted! Some driving required to see if the rattle on startup is also gone, the garage said this was probably a loose exhaust sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987RG Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 MOT passed, not a clean sheet though with some advisories. I had been concerned about emissions but a decent drive to get it warmed up before the MOT and no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen previous posts on here and looked at YouTube stuff. First look inside hood indicates old elastic is in tatters so will need to remove torx screws and start from scratch. Into lockdown here in Wales from Friday so no excuse not to get it done, weather permitting. You will be doing well to lower the roof in Porthcawl in this weather 😝 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on Rest Bay, probably the windiest part of Porthcawl and the weather presently is shocking. May get a chance next week - fingers crossed.

bally4563 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Yesterday, had a play with the front camber angle, for me it was too twitchy on the straight ahead. Looking at the slots it was at the max neg camber the slots would provide.Decided to split the distance in the slots , and take for a run , much better now for me nice direct feeling.

PaulQ Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Straight ahead stability will be determined by toe which you have changed by reducing the camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
