I will get a geo, detail and possibly ceramic coating and refinish the wheels in satin black. Also thinking about black PDLS, the lights are PDLS but not black. Any thoughts on geo for mostly road use and occasional trackday (probably one a year), I live in Bath so don't want to travel too far for the geo

I always like a geo to get the corner weights set and dial in a little less front toe (close to zero) and a little more camber, just me. Oh and bring the ride heights down a fraction

The car was from Sutton Coldfield OPC. I think I will need to change the whole units to get black

I have set geometry up on many cars, 4-5 BMW M cars with adjustable dampers and several 911's. I ran a 964 RS for road an track for 10 years. I have done my fair share of track days in the past, UK and Europe. I have been to the ring and Spa on open pit many times. I am not professing to be a good driver but I can feel the difference in tracking, toe, ride heights, track etc. My current GTS was noticeably better after a geo set up. Not sure why some people feel that you should not bother with getting a car right if you only intend to do one of two or even no track days a year :eek

PPS, I have never owned a non RWS car apart from a golf GTI, since 1992 when I had a 911 SC, that had Bilsteins

Hi, yes the spec is great I drove a GT3 CS at Bristol in April, but decided against the CS for mostly road use. This was a nice specced white car with 6k miles, went quite quick. This car had black PDLS and I love the look on white, the car below

Oh yes sorry not owned a RWS car, I meant RWD

Do you know what RWS is ?
In this case a typo of RWD.

Regarding RWS, I know very little but I have read all the articles, collected them when the 991.1 was announced and read Elephant Racings useful review. I'm not a chassis expert, but love learning and do have a degree in automotive Engineering and did used to build F1 engines in the late 80's, including porting the heads on the DFZ's, so I'm not an idiot, well I don't think so.
