Sad Fat Old Git............

Having seen Tess T (Allan) and his enhancements to the 'Silver Bullet' ...

I have to say I was impressed with the new Number Plate xxx CGT (Shame it wasn't 987 CGT! ) - together with the Black Cayman GT Notation brought down from the hatchback and onto the top of the bumber like a true Porsche GT. The Wing (Although I prefer mine), and the Front Spoiler.

I have had the Black Cayman GT Side Stripes fitted like K-Man S (GT3 type),

Ordered the Metallic Black 'Cayman GT' designation from Bumper Plugs.

And found on the DVLA Registrations Website the Number P4 CGT for £250.......! A steal!!!!

Still lots of Px CGT Numbers available @ only £250....

Still waiting for the Softronic Plenum/Throttle Body and fitting the Transmission Mountings - Tess is sorting out a Yellow seat - And I am sorting out a Harness/Harness Bar...........

Will it make me go Faster..............?

Hell No............ I am about at the end of my comfort zone (why do you think that I wear brown trousers!).

Will the car be set up for my 21 year old Son.....? Well Yes........................

Living for fun...............

Hold the Belt Karel, I'm having a specific one made with much shorter side straps that mount to the subframe with a reverse pull on them and shorter shoulder straps, so you don't finish up with loads of extra belt hanging around. Did you require a "yellow" one?????


But in answer to your original question........Yes you are !!!! ....but so am I

It is the 'Silver Bullet' - Does not travel quite as fast as Lightning - but the end result is just as impressive.................

Allan - you have driven mine at Oulton Park

-2 Rear, -1.5 front, Lowered and Stiffened.............. You liked it!

But to be honest you were fannying around, getting the 'Silver Bullet' photographed for the magazines............... You even washed it.......... (AndyLee.... Beware)

Now now Karel The Photographer Washed it.....I didn't !!

Don't think I've got as much Camber on the front as you have. Did you take a router and elongate the top mounts holes to get 1.5 at the front.?? How's your tyre wear?? Is it scrubbing the inside edges?? and last Whats you toe in Front and Rear?

Yes, the lowered suspension looks - Good - to be honest it looks RIGHT...... Feels good on the road too.

However the lowered suspension = No Match for Speedbumps - Hell, the 3 speedbumps just outside Porsche GB HQ in Reading, I cannot pass even at 2 mph wihout scraping. (keep some wet and dry handy to smooth out the bottom of the chin spoiler)

But at Brands Hatch - I (& Terry) can seriously disturb Works GT3's (with skinny & thin professional drivers) ................... Fun beyond compare.............

At top speed........... I only managed 152 max at Bedford.......... Straight line stability............... Seemed fine - Sorry I was not thinking about that, just the Chicane at the end!

Allan,

I'll find the complete settings from the Listing - and let everyone know......

However it was interesting - I use Northway Porsche as my engineers - all ex- Porsche trained mechanics, working less that a mile away from Porsche GB HQ Reading (easy access to parts info etc) They also 'sort out' race drivers.......... (not me)

They fitted my Suspension/Anti-Roll bars etc, and organised Porsche GB Reading to adjust my Suspension (outside of regulation settings)!

I even got a Porsche GB Invoice for the alighnment!
