maybe. its been awhile. hell, the rear wheel is the hard one to get off.

Only bad drivers.

hmmm.... my jury is out on this one. but, you do have a point to consider.

Maybe it is a California thing. Great roads and great weather. Electronic feedback is nothing like the feel of a real 911 wheel in your hands.

I had a fun drive yesterday afternoon with my Dad over on Mulholland (Highway, not the one by Banning).

Who needs video games with roads like this in your backyard?

Yup, I'd take moving blankets. I use one in the corolla when I load my bike in there...


and max, there are no roads like that around here...

Great looking car, Max.
My dad had a 74 2.7.
Bloody thing was awesome in the corners. :)

Flieger 11-24-2011 04:39 PM

Thanks. It is actually a '71, severely modded by both previous owners and my Dad and I.

Flieger 11-24-2011 04:41 PM

I got a nice Tuhle bike rack for my '83 E21 so I could take my bike to Laguna Seca for Rennsport. I used to take it in the car but that required the passenger seat pushed all the way forward, and for Rennsport my Dad was coming.

I would only take the front wheel off. Maybe more disassembly would have helped but the bike rack is nice so I can take the more bulky mountainbike to the shop if I need to. I don't have to remove anything.

The bike rack attaches to the car really simply and folds up for storage.

vas930 11-24-2011 04:43 PM

What shocks are you running, Max. ?

When you come out here we will have Magnus show you the canyons. He is great at leading drives.

porsche4life 11-24-2011 04:44 PM

I'm getting a rack for the corolla. Hauling a bike in the 944 will only be a one time thing...

Who's car will I ride in? If I come out I will most likely fly...

Flieger 11-24-2011 04:45 PM

Fronts are Koni struts, rears are Bilstein yellows (sports?).

Funny thing is that since we have very little spare time or money the car is not as sorted as it could be. If we had a lift in our garage and more space I could do more on it and being a mechanical engineering student I have no fear of it.

You can probably just tell Magnus which one of his you would like to ride in. I would go for his old favorite racecar or else the red STR.

Flieger 11-24-2011 04:49 PM

Else if my Dad would allow it you could ride in our car. He'd be fine with it if he was driving but you would not have so much fun that way. Though you would not need to worry about getting sick.

vas930 11-24-2011 04:50 PM

Any 911 for Sid.
He needs to know what he is missing.

Flieger 11-24-2011 04:52 PM

Lately I have been wondering what a well setup 914-6 feels like to drive.

vas930 11-24-2011 04:58 PM

Pretty good in race car trim, from what I hear.

I've been in the right seat of a few 911s at the autocross....

Spare time is my issue on my project car. I can usually come up with the change, but the time is always and issue..

And lifts are the shiznit. We have had one my entire life, I'm not sure I will be able to function without one.

Your dad won't let you take passengers? WTF
