Ok this is a cut and past from my "Does anyone know the GT3 at RPM" thread.
Thought I'd start a separate thread to say hi and post some pics as well.
To recap:-
Peter Morgan PPI checked out perfectly. All items picked up on the PPI got sorted by RPM.
I only ever bought 2 Porsches without a Peter Morgan report and the 2nd one burnt me. Never again and it is the best £400 you can spend, think of it as a full structural house survey..
Friday I collected the car, I was nervous to be honest. Would it be too stiff for a daily? Would the gear change be too notchy? Would the wife have a fit when she saw the cage and enquired about where the dog would sit....
Well it all went amazingly well, yes the wife did raise an eye about the cage. But I will have that removed so that there is room in the back for the dog. I am thinking of getting some kind of custom fitted shelf in the rear over the rear seat indentations. Like the 3.2 CS maybe. Or just fill it in with foam cut to fill and covered with carpet/fabric.
Not everyones cup of tea but I won't be tracking it and it needs to fit in with my use of it.
Well what a surprise, the RPM team set the chassis up to be more road focused. Yes it isn't a smooth as the 993 I had but it's not that far off. The steering is sublime and less stiff then the 993. The clutch is softer, the gear change is notchy but is like the riffle bolt I have read about. And everything gets better once it has heated through.
And OMG the power, I can't see ever getting bored of it. I had the opportunity to stretch it out a few times this weekend and it makes me giggle. Can't believe it is mine!
The new splitter RPM fitted is already scratched/damaged. Mainly from my frikkin drive. Thankfully the council have agreed that my drive needs lowering and is "only" taxing me £1,200 for the works...
Upgrades I am planning:
1.DSC+Accelerometer
2.PCM 2.1 - I have Denision but not with bluetooth - I want to keep OEM so think I'll upgrade to the bluetooth unit and hope that sorts me out.
3.Iphone cradle - Brodit has been mentioned so I'll look for that or get the Denision unit.
4....Any suggestions??
