    Good work on the trophy mate! What lap times were you doing??
    Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

        interested in what chip is in your ecu!
        I get the feeling it's whatever PR Technology use :D (they looked after the car from 2003-2010)

        ...might give them a call today...

          Babs - my cousin has just picked up a nice 160k km blue exterior/white interior 964 Carrera 2. He has a 2 year old and managed to convince his wife that swapping the Volvo wagon for a Porsche was good to use as a family car!

            Well my 964 replaced a sedan...I figured that from Monday to Friday, there is just me in it, and on the weekends I'm usually driving the kids around in the van anyway :D

              Snot - win. One of my mates has a 911 with a baby seat. My misses has seen it and I keep reminding her.

              She wants to replace the golf with a wagon of some description as it is not big enough for rugger duties. This would make my wagon (WRX) somewhat redundant.

              Surely as long as my car is capable of the occasional kid tow, all else it needs to do is take me to work and the gym!

                The kids I haul to Saturday sport are 8 and 5, and they both fit into the 964 easily (esp since it doesn't have a passenger airbag, so my 5yr old can sit in a booster in the front).

                But they drag shit into the car with their footy boots, so I take them in the Tarago instead :D

                  lol, retensioning the head studs is an awesome idea! unless you own a 2.7 where they set them when they assemble it, and then never touch them again

                  do you have any oil leaks on your return tubes? if so can you hurry up and do a picture guide on changing them so i can do mine?

                    The only proper leak I had was the power steering housing, which is now sorted. I have a bit of a weep on the chain box covers, but it's mainly just a mist rather than a drip.

                    I spose 2.7 mag cases are a bit softer, so maybe it's not a great idea to fuck with it?

                      Yeah big win!

                      Easy enough for me to say as I don't have kids, but I remember growing up with the family in 80s Suzuki Swift/Barina. We all survived. These days people seem to need Land Cruisers!

I'll take out the ecu, and see if the case has been tampered with. I have a spare ecu that looks unopened, so I might use that instead, if it turns out that the chip has been :wayned:

                            There should be a photo in my thread somewhere of my 3.2 carrera with 2 x kids seats in the back - easy........well squeezy (one booster, one baby seat) Has its downsides though, I can never go for a drive without having to take both the kids for their own spin around the block when I get back. They love it. Family of 4 in a 80's 911 is a sight to behold. Might go camping next
