Simples. I love the way they look.

Can't argue with that matey, however I must admit anything is better than the standard Gen 1 Turbo wheels :worship:

Hi Phil

The car is slate grey so the finish should look amazing :thumb:
 
Had a new alternator to starter cable fitted after research on here pointed me in the right direction to cure my slow turnover when starting a hot engine.
Result? Now no difference when engine is hot or cold - she cranks over beautifully under either condition!
 
Got my OE GT3RS side sills fitted today , decided to keep them matt black to match the front lip. :thumb:

I got a DEFA combined engine and interior heater with smart charger set installed, 7.5 litres of Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 and 30 litres of R Klycol Long Life rated for -35c (Nordic winter). Along with my rubber mats and Nokian Hakkapeliitta7 winter tyres, some new Bosch wiper blades and a top up of screenwash, I'm all set. 8)

It's a Porsche it'll be fine. Now that I have studs, I have a cunning plan to take it out on an ice track, if I can find one. Or just a frozen lake. If I can fine one.

I found yesterday that if I drive along the motorway in 7th with cruise control set to 115kmh, I have a theoretical range of some 775km at 9.0 litres/100km, which is a tad better than the 400-odd total km that I was getting on a tank of super in Dubai. I suppose it helps that winter limits are so low and it was 0c. :grin:

Mind the paint when you push the dials back in as it's easy to scratch it, I had a similar problem when I had my old one dipped
