Interesting to see how it pans out
Time to start getting excited again. :D

Thanks folks! Absolutely over the moon with it.

I'd originally intended to leave this forum, but I find myself being drawn back in all the time so I might be sticking around after all!

Gold is surely going to add a lot of weight to the back end. One way to get that 911 feel for cheap I suppose...😉

Having owned a couple of porches myself, I first thought the cars biggest let down was a very bland interior. For me they are flat and featureless.

But that said, after driving my first one for a couple of weeks, I realised they can get away with the blandness because you are too wrapped up in the driving experience to notice! :rofl:

Remapped, and currently “interior” rattle free.
