maybe. its been awhile. hell, the rear wheel is the hard one to get off.
as was mentioned, use some towels to pad things. i used a couple of moving blankets which i keep in my car at all times. YMMV

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?

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 |
