My 911 Carrera 2

[Dave..]

Looks good except for the roof bars, imo they spoil the lines.

 

[pablo]

lol they were to carry a bike, 99.9% of time not on car. i dropped the car off to get the springs done then cycled into work

 

[BarryPort]

With bars lol

Quite like it with bars. Gives the illusion of adventure. Saw a Delroean with roof racks & skis parking up at the bottom of a pieste in Lake Tahoe & still remains one of the coolest things I've seen!
Dumb & dumber style.

Bars are awesome

Drop looks ok in that last picture.

 

[KevM]

The wheels you have are 100 times better than Twists??

 

[G N K]

I too like the bars on, and actually love the wheels that are on it also

 

[KeithRobinson]

Looks great, it looks to be lower than the H&R's at the rear and same at front.

Really does transform the look though, love it

15mm spacers rear and 7mm front next!

Definately lower at the back than the h&r's. I've 15mm spacers if you want to try them on @pablo

 

[pablo]

Yeah be up for trying them alright cheers richie

No bother, I need to pop up this week with the steering wheel so I'll bring with

 

[pablo]

Super you get yours back then? Happy with it?

 

[pablo]

tonights wee job - LED rear plate lights. seem pretty bright!

 

[Lyons]

I think the height of the front looks spot on there.

Saw it briefly from afar yesterday coming out of the Kings Hall, looked well.

 

[svensktoppen]

Jaysus, serious plate lights

 

[KeithRobinson]

See them lights from space!!

 

[G N K]

Car looks excellent, nice to meet you today too.

 

[pablo]

how its sitting today. Im not happy with the rear height so looking at ways to raise it up 10-20mm at the back. It was already -10mm from std and came down a heap more!

Splitter arrived yesterday too, so need to look at getting that fitted but biggest priority is getting the suspension sorted so I can get an alignment done.

 

[KeithRobinson]

You won't be parking that close to kerbs once the splitter is fitted lol

 

[pablo]

Ok so I wasnt happy with the rear height, as its a little low. No idea why the eibachs gave such a drop but was happy with the handling and ride etc so @Daviddunlop83 very kindly made me up some spacer rings to raise the height 20mm. These slipped over the shock body and sat flush against the bottom platform. They give exactly the same seat as the original ring so no worries with the spring not sitting correctly etc. This is exactly the same as adjusting the platform on a coilover for example, or a shock with multiple platform positions (bilstein do one for the elise with 3 positions).

shock with eibach spring:



shock with spacer fitted.



And how the car sits now (perfect):

 

[Daviddunlop83]

You didn't hang about in getting them fitted

 

[pablo]

weather was good this morning so wanted to get them done before my back tyres get chewed

I stupidly measured the shock as 50mm diameter and got the rings made with 50mm ID. Of course they didnt fit. 20 mins with a dremel had them sorted though I do wonder will they ever come off again though!!

Lol I didn't wonder but thought you allowed for the ID with some clearance when you measured them.

 

[pablo]

better tight than rattling around tho!

 

[Woodcutter]

That looks absolutely spot on, great job.

 

[Lappintyre]

Fair play quick work, I like your eye for detail!
