carreracat Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I bought it from a chap on here years ago. Can’t recall his name. Had plans at the time of building a hot rod 911 when SC prices were sub 10k. quick google shows it was a sound buy, although I don’t haves box! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324123913034 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Another social isolation odd job has been fitting some power outlets in the dash, for the various gadgets I use from time to time. From left to right, I now have two 5v outlets (the second of which is a retractable lead, rather than a socket) and a 12v outlet. They've taken the place of the brake warning light thingy, which I never found very valuable, so I'm moving it to a new location. And they fit very nicely there!

My warning light is basically just there to look nice these days too.

Busybee Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Thinking of fitting one of these in daisy. Have a gap to the right of the light switch so was thinking a little cf panel and mount this above my phone holder. Little cable, job done https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293155190556 Edited April 5, 2020 by Busybee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALEX P Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Bit of a cheaty one this because I didn't actually do it but in case anyone is bored at home and isn't firing up the BBQ. If you are running a VDO or Continental head unit (as many of us are because they don't look out of place inside an IB) but the knobs are a bit shiny blingy chrome. You can just pop the knobs off, disassemble & give them a once over with some satin black & refit. Photo's are a bit rubbish but it is a small detail Which is an improvement. I did say, you'd have to be bored!! Edited April 5, 2020 by ALEX P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please can you stick some details up of the replacement box of tricks 👍 It's actually three separate items, all modified. The left-hand one is a 5v USB outlet sold for motorcycles. I bought it because it looked roughly the right dimensions, which it turned out to be. I had to cut off the 'waterproof' cap and trim it a little bit ... but then just wired it into Fuse 13 (counting from the front of the fuseboard - it's a 25A fuse that powers the cigarette lighter). The middle one is the cable that came with a GPS speedo that I bought with our Alpine Tour in mind (switchable mph-kph) and the right hand one is a standard RJ11 adaptor, filed down to fit the aperture.

Little cable, job done https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293155190556 I installed a voltmeter and twin USB in the centre console. Had the front/rear fader that wasn’t being used, so removed that, a bit of dremel work, a bit or wiring and all good. isolation jobs: fit some new inner window scraper seals (parts ordered), sort out cold hunting and backfire, triangle of death and oil cooler leak.

Type911 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Fitted a Stomski Racing coupler to the SC today to try and pass the time, only took 20 minutes though! Nice smooth change now, it will be even better when I add the Rennshift next week! Still have these on special IB offer of £180 delivered!

But then the garden swingball championships started, I took my beaten up old mountain bike out for a few miles of responsible self-isolating exercise and subsequently treated myself to a bbq, some beers and a bit of mild sunburn so all in all, not a bad Sunday Funnily enough I do have a fairly good new intake & ECU project that I'm in the middle of on the Porsche but I keep stalling/losing motivation. I used to tell myself that I didn't want the car to be off the road so I was avoiding any downtime but now I'm telling myself that there is no point because I can't use the car anyway! I think it must boil down to plain laziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, a good chunk of it is hand-me-down but there is still some figuring out to do especially around the vacuum lines. I really would like to put new engine fuel lines in there when I do the change over so I don't end up 'Rock-ing' it! I'm still in two minds whether to go for the aftermarket ones from the US as I haven't got the full set from my new setup to re-hose. https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/MASK2.htm?pn=MAS-K2&SVSVSI=0841&DID=167959 What's your take on the lines DBS? Worth the money? Someone like 9M charges about the same ££ to he-hose and re-plate your existing lines as those. I would probably do it myself but don't have the full set so may be easiest to just buy new. Finally, half of the bits are still at Robs and grabbing Porsche go-faster goodies off a mate isn't strictly speaking essential travel right now so I think it's only right to play it by the book. Boom. Who said I've got no more excuses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
