I've been busy making the stitching match my dash, hoping it looks ok as it doesn't tie up like on the 718. What are you using Daz, leather or alcantara.

It's leather to match the rest of dash but the stitching was bright yellow and mine is a graphite colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringmaster999 Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Made a side-intake mesh insert. I want to have them on prior to fitting my GT style side-scoops 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuno1 Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) I got the car back today from having some work done. The main thing being having the carrera classic wheels painted weiss gold with satin laquer. Won’t be to everyone’s taste but I am very pleased and it ties in nicely with the gold badges. The car needs a proper clean then I’ll get some better images. Had the front bumper sprayed too. Edited December 5, 2022 by Stuno1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffe Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 3 hours ago, Tony Daniel said: 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.

My scoops are on their way over from the far east 😂 Yea not difficult. I bought this mesh of eBay item number 225082789070. Made a cardboard template out of the box it came in. Which is perfect as you can use the folds in the box to create the centre fold that then fits on the plastic centre cross pice of the intake duct. If you ordered the ones I did they literally arrived a few days later. Surprised me as I was expecting them to be a few weeks. I’m also convinced they are copy’s of the OEM part as they have raised lines that when lined up with the curved edge of the plastic OEM duct covers (that you pull off) I’m sure if attached together they would be in the perfect position. But I’ll find that out over the next few days when I try 😂👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for the more expensive Zunsport option, but to be honest I think yours looks just as good mate, well played that man But both options are much better than the OEM gaping hole, obviously.

Patt Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 driving through an empty part of an industrial estate. The car in front was doing 35 according to the very nice policeman too. However, I was the only one to be pulled over. At best its points and a fine, at worse it's a visit to the courthouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe as long as the taper seat is a good match they won't leak. They weren't cross threaded, just the bi metal corrosion had taken place. The shiny threaded section is where the alloy from the caliper has corroded to the steel nipple and basically torn the ally from the caliper. They seem to have tightened up OK, only needs 20NM torque. I coated all the new nipples with high temp silicone grease to ease installation. The other 6 nips went in very easily indeed. I bought a bag of Stainless Steel nips which are still in the shed. If I ever get round to fiddling with car's bleed nips I'll swap them out for Stainless. Don't get confused by the price. That's enough for 4 cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the speed awareness course, though they might look at you car and decide you're already aware of speed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Up to 42mph the course would be offered. 21 years with a clean license, just gutted, but a fair nab. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cutoff speed for an automatic ban used to be 30mph over the limit, I'm not sure if that is still applicable. Many years ago I got pulled over on a motorway, and the motorbike cop clocked me at 99mph - phew, a close shave! I was in a brand new Nissan 200SX, probably the fastest car I've ever owned (until now, obviously ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
