moospeed Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 All set to go for a nice little scenic drive… Half hour of cursing later and can’t get off the bloody drive 😡 What the photo doesn’t show is not so much that the drive is on a slope, but it’s very uneven where the bricks have sunk in. Also there’s a drain cover which despite having no snow on it now is as slippy as a greased frying pan. Ran out of time to dig any more and the car was slewing towards the wall so I decided to abandon ship. So much for having an LSD, didn’t help at all. Annoyingly I took my Elise up that same drive in deeper snow without clearing any. Half the weight and skinnier tyres did the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raffe Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Saturday I managed to get rest of interior upgrade in but what a tw*t of a job… 718 armrest is different to 981, so had to change whole mechanism not just lid as it initially looked. Not difficult but involved removing rear bulkhead carpet, rear centre console trim, dismantling armrest and removing hinge pin and spring. Thankfully all went back together no issue. Drivers door card literally 5 min job. Lower dash panel, there’s a hidden screw which involves removing dials 🤦🏻♂️ At 3.30 Sat afternoon with the light failing on the drive this is how the car looked.

Raffe Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Got it all back together successfully but ran out of times for a pic - looks great mind. credit to Porsche engineers, the car is like an adult Lego set - not a single broken clip,or fixing. Got a custom gear knob on order along with a alcantara with deviated stitch gaitor too. Just need to find a 718 GT multifunction wheel with airbag for a sensible price now.

Yep same here, the wheel I got is from the 911 but I think it's 375mm but airbag located and on its way! It's a heated wheel so debating whether I should add it to the Cayenne instead and then add the Cayenne wheel to the 981. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you have to remove it to fit the splitter from the 911 but he removed the splitter as it was catching on speed bumps with the x73😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow @daz05 you are soooo observant 😂😂 There’s a story here. This is how the car looked on its way down to the ring. But it’s appearance changed on entering an underground car park of a hotel in Bruges. The ramp down under the hotel was so steep I couldn’t see the angle at the bottom and the lip you see was ripped off on the R/H side. So I had to remove it completely before the journey continued. Cars on x73 so it used to catch often but the steep ramp was the last straw. I’m not put off as I’m considering a GT4 style front bumper from 911 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colours and material but you want a 95b one, the later one looks the same and almost is but sadly mounting points are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 @Ringmaster999you can definitely pull off the gt4 front with x73, upgrading the bumper was the best thing I've done, the change is significant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
