Hi Rob
The passes are just to get you in , not on track, you may be able to join the fun if someone has cancelled , why not call helen ( see above posts).
What have you modded on the 3.2 ? I did a massive ammount to mine and I have a Boxster front brake mod for sale .

Hi Mike - basically I stripped the car back to a bare shell and started from there. Had the usual repairs to the 'B' pillar, front bumper mount and inner wing near the fuel filler along with a pair of new front wings and full paint. Considering the age of the car - the shell was pretty good.
Engine was left standard (its only covered 73k miles) but I fitted a set of SSI's and a Dansk 2 in 2 out silencer - its loud to say the least.
Suspension - all parts were blasted and powder-coated. Uprated hollow torsion bars. All suspension bushes were replaced with bronze instread of rubber. Replaced all bearings, ball joints etc. and fitted Bilstein Sports shocks.
As for the brakes, fitted new calipers and discs all round, fitted stainless hoses and replaced all pipes.
After covering 400 miles with the car back together, the gearbox pinion bearing race deceided it wanted a new home resulting in the engine being removed again for a gearbox strip/rebuild. Lucky its a very easy box to work on so there was no problems there.
Car goes pretty well when I decide to use it but its hardly covered 2k miles in the last 2 years since I put it back on the road.

Just returned back from Knockhill and can I say it was a brilliant morning. Although I wasn't driving myself, can I say thanks to Charles and Shoana for letting me be a passenger in there 2 cars. Also thanks to Gordon Robertson who drove me round the track in my own 997. Although I still feel a bit queasy, what a thrill!!
Thanks again it was a (pardon the pun) blast!!

Click the images to get the larger version, the forum may resize, so they might look a bit squished!
Anyone know what the RTS porsche is with the bodykit?
Will post some more pics when I get through them, found out when viewing them on PC that i had dust on lense, so i have to clone it out of every pic :banghead:

Nice shots Stuart you have captured the speed of the cars nicely.
Don't think the Ferraris would have troubled your panning skills !
First time I've attended the Porsche day without driving , our cars looked great on track ( the red Fs sounded good)
Nice sideways action Ricardo

was that the zanzibar boxster - I'm assuming mechanical problems as it didn't have a scratch on it.......ORIGINAL: Bmac
We got a casualty of the day towed into the garage this afternoon , Sadly i was covering the Showroom so couldnt go[]
Was a good day - I got some coaching from Barry Horne which I really needed as was very out of practise at the beginning of the day - must try to get out more often.
GREAT pics stuart!! like the one of mine!

Thanks Kim for the photo. You are my first passenger! No one has ever been brave enough to come out with me!
Great morning and got lots of track time ;O)
Stuart
Thanks for the photo of my RS. Looks the fastest one there!

The car is Mark Fosters. He bought it from PSI in Belgium who mod Porsches. Mine is the same without the Chav body kit. PSI suspension fitted and set up. Marks car is a GT 2 I think with engine mods to 650 bhp. Check out their website if you want to find out more.
