911 turbo

[neil a]

These will be 12x19 in the back waring 305 wide Cup tyres

One more little change made today.
With now having fixed back seats the location for the suspension canisters on the rear shelf wasn't ideal for adjustment, so i have moved them onto the cage using a couple of motorbike fork mounts.

Before

After

New wheels and tyres , that should be with me next week.

 

[banther]

They look awesome mate and will really suit!! Get some pics up when fitted :grinning:.

p.s. Long time lurker in this thread - a lot of like for your car!

Is that last photo one bloody wheel? Wider than they are in diameter ffs!

 

[neil a]

Yip 12x19 with a 305 tyre , my LM's are 11.5 x 19 with a 315 justnow.

 

[adamlstr]

My favourite car on CS.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

I love your car but I wouldn't love the bill to replace those tyres.......:tongueout:

If you can afford a 996T and those mods; tyres aren't an issue my friend!

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Still wouldn't want that bill for circles of rubber.....!:astonished:

 

[Craig]

Them wheels will look awesome when fitted. Cracking car.

I wish that was the case lol
Luckily i do have a spare set of ps2's in these sizes sitting , that i removed from the car when i had the LM's re-furbbed.

 

[ColinG]

Seriously wide boots! They're going to look awesome.

 

[neil a]

new boots against a set from my fiesta/clio

Fitted two wheels to check fitment , ended up removing the spacers I ran on the LM's

 

[banther]

That looks amazing. New wheels suit a lot better in my very very humble opinion.

 

[cat171]

Looks stunning, top work there! The new wheels look ace! :hearteyes:

 

[jesus]

I love this thing!

 

[VR46-G@Z]

That's fecking epic Neil!!!

 

[Rob]

New wheels. Oh my!

Flipping awesome.

 

[Gally]

Did you have the standard wheels on before Neil? I love the standard turbo wheels in silver. The side profile was just beautiful, the 996 would have perfect had it not been for the headlamp experiment. My guess is the guy no longer works for Porsche.

 

[neil a]

I think the new wheel will grow on me , just use to seeing it on the LM's.
The LM's will be going back on justnow as new Cup tyres and wet greasy roads don't mix, get wheel spin at 2500 rpm in 3rd as soon as it comes on boost.

 

[neil a]

Gally _ When i bought the car i got a set of standard hollow spokes with it but they no longer fitted due to the bigger brakes.

 

[Gally]

Ah makes sense. That the 5 spoke sweeping ones? Always remind me of the Carrera 4S ones?

Car looks great, love the colour, seem to be quite a few silver ones around.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Those discs are fecking huge! I fecking love this car Neil, it's fecking awesome!!! :tongueout::up:

Yip the turbos had the same wheel as the C4's but were lighter hollow spokes.
The gt2 had the same style as well but were a 12" wide rear and were solid spoke.

 

[Gally]

I've been in one, it was mental...

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Those wheels are lovely!! My mate had some on his Gunmetal Corrado VR6, it looked the business!!

 

[deutsche_blonde]

Incredible car. I'd love to see it with the current wheels in silver.

 

[Rubicon_]

Looks great Neil!

Got to be the best car in Leven :smirk:

 

[leeds_182]

Sex.

 

[Stefan.]

All silver would be amazing

Not a fan of black with polished lip, cheapens the look

 

[Poopensharten]

I've been in one, it was mental...

Thats easily one of the nicest i've seen!

 

[neil a]

I love the look of the forrest green GT2 , very rare car

Dropped my car off in Chorley on Thursday 500 mile drive down and was actually surprised how comfy the fixed back seats were , even more shocked that it did 31mpg on the trip.
Was good to get a look around some of the other cars Nine Excellence have in , was crazy driving into the carpark to see so many 700 - 1200 bhp cars sitting.
I also go a demo of the exhaust I'm having fitted with switchable valves, giving quite or all hell broke loose options. With the valves open 60% of the gases bypass the silencer, so its turbo/ 100 cell cat/6" of pipe out the back lol

I have a 996 turbo parked next to the Clio in the garage! Fantastic machine, I've maintained the full Porsche service history and its eye wateringly expensive. Bought it four years ago before the prices went up. Nudging £100k back in 2003, when a Carrera was c.£60k. The engine is derived from a Le Mans winning GT1, air cooled block with water jackets . Special engine in these cars.

 

[15MAS]

The rear tyre off the 911 versus my Clio. 295s! Nearly a foot wide.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

That's epic 15MAS!!! I never used to be into Porsche's until I did a ring trip and suddenly they became more appealing, now I love them... I want!!:smile:

 

[Stefan.]

Holy fook

Dare I say, those bring that shell a few years forward. Really suit it. Although I think they would look better in silver.

Awesome car, a credit to you

Haha I did the same comparison with mine.

They were 305s on the rear of my C4S! Absolutely huge!

 

[neil a]

I run 315's on the LM's and 305's on the ch-r's but the cups are like a lot of track type tyres and are actually wider than the measurements suggest.
Scary thing is it already use to try and spin up in 2nd and 3rd in the wet , and after these mods I could have upto an extra 100bhp lol

 

[neil a]

Well picked the car up from nine excellence today after its 9e30 conversion. All i can say is WOW .

The car is totally different from the previous K24 set up ,with the power delivery now being so smooth .

The 500 mile drive home had a mix of weather from sun to tropical style downpours so never got a chance to fully test the power, but will say the way it pulls in 6th from 7 mph to 14 mph is staggering.

Its almost funny watching the boost gauge go from 0.1 Bar to 1.3bar in a blur.

With my car already having some other breathing mods it is making boost earlier than the normal conversion so 9e recon it should crack 0-300 kph in around 28 sec.
