That certainly looks like a labour of love!

The only thing I would say is that after all your attention to detail, you left the ratty cable heatshield in place; even I changed that on my car, and I don't do cosmetics...



Hope you have a great time at Spa, I was there last weekend as a spectator for the PorscheDays event, and the weather was great on Sunday.

Thanks a lot, sure it will be great time especially if the weather is nice and sunny!

That heatshield has now been replaced with what looks like exactly the same stuff as you have used. Was one of the final bits to be done :-)

One other suggestion, mount the Speedo Sensor on the other side of the diff (as used on the later Tuscans) - advice from AJP8 tuning expert Joolz that there was less run-out on the passenger side. It will last longer that way.

Look out for the photographers as well. NilsP alerted me to this one from last weekend.
