Babalouie's 911 - start on p7

[Ben Wilson]

I hope you put another nutsert on the other side so it isn't uneven...

[Boxer]

^ surprised you even asked

[Kyle]

Loving your attention to detail Kev! Inspiring

The OCD continues to grow strongly in this one

yup, just when I thought there was no more OCD to be had in the world, babs one up himself :p

[Shitbreak]

10kg for a sports flywheel is pretty bloody heavy. Going from a 9kg to a 4.3kg in my GTiR rocked my world. Surely it would do wonders to this 964?

[Mr Purple]

Can I just lend you a couple of my cars for a few months?

[styler]

Mad idea on the nutserts, tradetools has a well priced kit and I may have to invest...
Those deburrer tools are awesome also step drill works wonders for big messy burrs

[demuire]

Modifying your nutsert tool to fit the car, awesome :p I wasn't as committed, I modified my car so my nutsert tool would fit :p

MegaLOL. Now Babs has started improving on shoddy German engineering.

Yeah 10kg is more just "normal" rather than light. I was tempted to upgrade to the RS flywheel, but since it's not dual-mass like the stock one, you have to do the whole caboodle with clutch etc. And then at the end, apparently some ppl get issues with the car stalling, so the ecu needs to be reflashed with new code to sort it out. In the end it was a bit spendy, so I just put a new stock clutch in when I had to do a change.

...it's like we don't even know each other anymore, man.

You wouldn't find this dodginess on a Datsun.






No, seriously. You wouldn't.

Step drill is a great idea in my case the burrs were all on the inside face of that bracket tho so no way to get a drill in there, but a good tip for the future.

IIRC, mine was $125 or something from eBay, comes with 250 nutserts in various sizes (altho I think some of them you wouldn't use, ever, so it's more like 100 of the common sizes).

yup - it's not a big issue just annoying when coming up to traffic lights if you didn't blip the throttle. that 911 chip thing i got is programmed to fix it, which was nice.

[Babalouie]

Yea, but then upgrading to RS flywheel turns a $2k clutch change into a $3.5k exercise, and the spending has got to stop *sometime*

[clutch-monkey]

haha yeah.. leave it until the next clutch goes?

[Babalouie]

We'll see. Not a biggie on my list of things.
