996.1 cab C2 manual

Place called Specialist Engineering - they do a lot of stuff for F1 teams, so I reckon they are well qualified when it comes to making parts for Porsche road engines.

Thanks for looking out for things - we're going a different route on the ITB's though.

In (todays!) news, my registration has transferred, so I can drive the car on the road again. And it's therefore pissing down here in SE London. And I have to put the centre console back in. But apart from those things, back on the road!
 
Put the Hertz DCX 100.3's in today, frankly can't tell the difference between them and the old Nokia units, but we'll see what they're up to when powered by something made in the last couple of years, rather than 20 years ago (the Nokia amp was used in the 993 IIRC).

The 997 SSK, combined with the Function First shifter is really good - throw is nicely snappy, shift is accurate, knob is easily to hand and near the steering wheel.
 
Good result with the shifter, not so great to hear about the speakers.
It's no problem for you as you're doing the whole system. I'm not.
Obviously a 4" speaker is never going to rattle my insides but I'd hoped they'd be better than the old stuff even when just doing a straight swap.
Food for thought.
 
I will admit to testing it with Guns'n'roses, where there was really no appreciable difference.

I then went for a drive to test the gear-shift and had Classic FM on, which sounded good - nice and clear. I didn't test the "before" using that as a source however.
 
The blue's don't quite match, but I guess they're close enough.

I've spent the last few evenings reading from page one.

Fella, you're insane!

You're certainly taking a different path to most, and good luck to you.

Just buy a standard UK plate.

Glad you've enjoyed it so far, it's going to get even sillier.

It is a standard UK plate- just a bit shorter. Meets all legal dimension requirements.

I meant one without the blue on so you don't habe the colour match problem.

Failing that, colour it in with a blue permanent CD marker should get a shade nearer.
 
I should probably link to this thread from here, as a lot of the stereo stuff is here: http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=128257

A short summary:
Becker Cascade Pro head unit
JL xd600/6v2 amp
4 x Hertz DCX 100.3 mid-range and tweeter (two in the dash, two in the rear)
2 x Hertz 130.5 woofer (in the doors)

The amp replaces the stock Nokia, and is located using a bracket created for the purpose. No wires were cut, everything was connected using new plugs to the stock wiring.
