Hi all, long time no see! Just to keep this post on topic, does anyone want a load of 911 & Porsche World magazines to help send them off to sleep? I have been clearing out my loft and found about 170 editions ranging from issue number 165 (December 2007) through to issue number 299 (February 2019) as well as a couple of the very early ones. Some of these might even have your cars featured in them! Mrs. P wants me to take them to the tip but it seems a shame if anyone on here wants them FOC so I thought I'd give them a 1 week stay of execution. Let me know if they're of interest. Cheers

Yeah, I may pop up there as it's so close. I haven't been before - Is it any good?

Hello all. I was up in my loft putting some Christmas decorations away when Mrs.P wasn't looking and found this tank lurking in the corner. I have got no idea what state it is in internally, so presume it has some rust but just in case it is of some use to anyone - I don't know if anyone on here wants it for free? If not it's getting recycled!!

Maybe try Rain-X or Fog-X Nige. I've always found them ok.

Magnesium 6 speed 915k gearbox! I never knew that was a thing. Do you reckon 911k is a nod towards the price tag?

Nice work JG. Great to be able to stack store them, just make sure the working one is underneath!!

Just caught up with this thread - Those Italians have really got on top of those build quality niggles haven't they Lovely car though & great to see you getting stuck into it!

I've been removing a load of old glue recently and used this stuff which worked really well. Stinks a bit though. https://www.gtechniq.co.uk/shop/auto/wash-decon/w7-tar-and-glue-remover/ As others have said, if someone has used Araldite you may have to get chiselling. Or just stick over the top!

I put MPS4 tyres on my daily Cayenne (tank) and they were fitted by Costco. They were actually very good and the price was better than anywhere else locally for the same tyre. I think they realise that when you save £50 on tyres you will be highly likely to go and spank many times that in their shop while you wait to have them fitted!

Mark, there are many more grams to be taken out of that key without negatively impacting the structural integrity. I think keep drilling

Sorry, I must have made that up then. It's my age. Maybe I just sprayed contact adhesive all over it and pretended it was self adhesive, which it would have been at that point.

What a tight arrrr5e. Great plate though

Great to see this car getting some good (proper) use and some very overdue TLC (even if it has been sticker bombed ). I'm really pleased it found such an enthusiastic new owner in Haith, who is already putting his own stamp on modifying it, carrying on the good fight and sticking two big fingers aloft to the wheel nut polishing brigade!! 👌👊 Personally - It's also fantastic for me that the car stays on here after all these years after all the help and advice that the generous and knowledgeable folks on here have given me over the years. Even better than that, it has been given a sensible(ish) name - I was terrified it would be called Dory or Marge, or Smurfette! 🤣 @Busybee, Great numbers from Waynes dyno, that guy knows his onions right! @BenC, absofrickingloutely @Fuchs915, Kevin, sadly the bug is long gone but other new/old VW's have taken its place @Vincent, thanks matey. we'll have to check calendars for when I can borrow your lovely car! Shotgun a nice sunny weekend! @strosek34, Steve, sorry to hear the bay has gone but if you're not using it then it's time to let go right?... @Northy, No worries bud, I'm not going far - Just lurking! @Beaky, yes mate, but only for me. At least the car stays on here 👍 @Von Twinzig, Ooof, VT, that looks bloody good 😍. I do love them. First dibs? @GaryH, I'm expecting to see your blue chip investment back on the mean streets of outer Brighton this summer... Right?

Excellent. Now we just need to track down the clown that wired it up

I guess some sort of high temperature spray on contact adhesive would be ok but if it's tatty and coming away then just change it for a new one which will have a self adhesive backing.
