Thanks for that, will probably go for some 'Second Skin Sludge' and some blocking material/mat, but not sure what is out there for that, and wouldn't know where to find both, so any help with that would be great.

Cheers

Ok, so I've decided to compile a list of things I want to achieve by the end of the refurb/build, let me know of any problems or changes that could do with the list, or anything I may have missed:

Now on first page of topic.

Cheers

Thanks, would that be what is standard in the 998? Or if unsure, how do I find out?

Cheers

I'd agree on a 3.1. It would have the legs to pull it too with that supercharger. (Read: TORQUEY BABY!). Your 998 may have a 3.1 fitted. It may also have a 2.95 or a 3.44. Best check the engine number against Guessworks' website.
