Windows out, doors removed ( with only a small amount of  swearing over broken hinge studs ) just about ready to weld in some bracing before cutting out and replacing bits of floor and sills. Moving forward at least! :D

Been for a rolling road setup today after fitting stage 1 kit. Thanks to Mr Bogg, it's now making a tad over 50 BHP at 5000 rpm. Not too shabby from an otherwise stock 998.

The difference from before fitting the kit is amazing! Throttle response is much better, acceleration is greatly improved, as is top end speed.

Swore at it. A lot.
The ******* thing has somehow chewed the brand new CV joint gator up with exhaust manifold again not 10 miles of use after I replaced it and “modified” the manifold to give it clearance.
******* *******!

Jacked up, took wheels off. Blasted years worth of mud out from the arches, radius arms and subframes.

 

Nice and clean.

Dunno if you know about ICE systems, but Im hopefully fitting an Alpine IVA-D310r Media System, which has its own wiring loom and connection box (brain) which needs to be hidden somewhere. Its an older system but is competition spec and still worth a lot of money, even though its around 17ish years old...
