  1. Does anybody have any experience of the Club Sport spec?
  2. Exactly my concern Ian. I wouldn't say what I have is perfect but it's good - just looking to refresh. I don't want to go through the hassle of rebuilding what I have. Also I want to avoid anything that would need a ruinous trip to CG for setup, which I feel includes changing torsion bars. I simply cannot afford it. Might give Paul at Tuthill a call. EDIT: I found my original receipts. The receipt for the from Bilstein inserts has a number quoted, 911625330340. This appears meaningless now.

  4. Anybody have the Club Sport spec fitted and care to comment on their performance?
  5. Didn't find that specific thread but did find some other information on PP, specifically: Bilstein Porsche 911 Fahrwerkssetups / suspension settings Setting VA/front axle HA/rear axle Bilstein SC/Carrera series 140/100 196/133 Bilstein Turbo Serie/series 150/110 196/133 Bilstein Sportlich Strasse/sporty road 225/112 336/164 Bilstein Clubsport 200/170 220/180 Bilstein Rennen 1/race 1 160/160 unknown Bilstein Rennen 1*/race 1* 200/170 unknown Bilstein 1000 Seen/1000 lakes rallye 270/100 285/140 Bilstein RSR 160/160 180/170 number x 9,81 indicates the actual force in Newtons numbers pattern: rebound/compression all shock absorbers are of type B6 the SC/Carrera series and the Bilstein Turbo series are both green coloured (rear) dampers, the rest is yellow coloured. I think it's a choice between Bilstein 'Sportlich Strasse' and 'Club Sport'. I've got some fuzzy recollection that I was advised by (maybe Tuthill) to go with the combination I have - I don't think my fronts are the same spec as my rears but I can't confirm that. I guess what I'm struggling with is matching what I have (probably impossible without getting the part number for the fronts), or knowing what's closes in the current Bilstein terminology. I don't do track work, but do like a well-damped road car. Is the current 'Club Sport' spec intended for track use?
  6. I am looking to refresh all four dampers. I have Bilstein inserts in my Boge legs at the front - I don't know the spec though. Rears are Bilsteins from Autofarm described as 'fast road' on the invoice. All are over 20 years old. I am bewildered by the various specs on current Bilstein dampers though, some described as 'Std', others as 'Club Sport'. Does anyone have a breakdown of the various Bilstein options available?
  7. As per the title. I have an interview lined up with the new head of Peter Auto, Marc Ouayon, at this year's event. This news generates a few questions.
  8. A page out of the orange buffoon's book?
  9. Do they need a writer & photographer???
  10. Good to meet you both too. Hope you enjoyed your time away. Your car looks fab - love the BBS wheels!
  11. I'll have a look in the garage and find them. I did a rear end refresh and replaced the rear light units with new ones from Porsche.
  12. I have a pair in the garage somewhere from my 88 car.
  13. Did you see the recent Car SOS episode??
  14. Good to know I'm not imagining things! Those 5 years have slipped by...
  15. I have a solid state DME in my car - been in there for quite a while (years!). No issues. I have a vague recollection I bought following a much earlier discussion on here.
