Silly Sugar, punching who? 915 good for the period, for sure prefer the improved G50, PDK and on and on. Rgds, Tyson Fury.

the way you drive seanie-max the standard syncros & dogteeth will last guys that shift like you and shug a lifetime. three fingers up like it's time for tea into 3rd gets the job done every time while being kind to the catchy parts in there!

That always makes me chuckle. I love the footwork especially as he rests his left foot on the clutch pedal. LOL

Matt what will you be doing to his 915 to improve it? I have more and more people asking me if there are options who are willing to spend a bit to make them more precise but still keep the stock shifter and look.

Full sequential. Won't be for people who want to lolly-gag and drive like a sissy. Only for angry people like Suga. You really have to punch it... :D

Reminds me a lot of the Ducati 748R box I overhauled (successfully, thankfully!) many years ago.

It's really incredible how superior in every way a sequential box is to the run of the mill h-pattern - you don't even need to use the clutch on up-shifts, or even close the throttle if you use a good, ignition cutoff device (no cutoff necessary if not planning to shift without closing the throttle). I wonder why cars didn't use those as standard, like motorcycles . . . maybe cost?

Say Ronnie, recently realized you got biker expertise accompanying your 911 and aircraft expertise!
Any advice on my 73 850 Eldorado Motto Guzzi? I need to flog it pronto this Spring. How's demand for those in USA these days? It needs TLC but pretty solid bike minus the saddle bags and battery covers. Got fish tale pipes, diamond tuck seat. Got a dead car quest car battery under the seat. Needs new back tire, one throttle cable (that's why it don't run now). PO was a Harley guy. Deceased now. It's in NV storage ready to pick up for 1800 or so I hope to get. What do you think if you even know this bike?

Thanks for any biker advice! I'll owe you not one, but two!

Thanks but a “local pickup” guy isn’t even worth asking if he will ship overseas. Plus it’s overpriced.

You posted that in response to Cobalt's real question "Matt what will you be doing to his 915 to improve it? " Has been a week so I gave it a nudge just in case you wanted to say anything more.

Your bump kindness knows no bounds. I don’t come here to market and sell my stuff. And even if I did, it’s a work in progress. We are getting ready to make our first two prototypes for testing. But we’ve got actual orders and inventory to make first. So until then, I’ve got nothing...

Understood. On the other hand, it's just us usual peeps here so don't sweat that.

Someone is gonna jump on Frank’s box. That’s basically a $10k discount.

How about punching people for saying Porsche 930 turbo. Isn't that stuttering?? I get it from the novice Porsche guys, but why on Bat and Pcar market?

Yes!
"door card" is another one some some knowledgeable people started using, I get it if you just got into cars and do not know better, but if you have been around and think it is cute to start using that British term why stop there, why not use them all, wings, boots and bonnets, etc.?
I have door cards on my Jag. I have door panels on my 930.
I think with this virus isolation it will be time to unload on the computer.
Yeah!

The G50.

I admit that it bugs me too. It reminds me of every 80's-90's Ferrari for sale that has to mention that it has a "gated" manual gearbox. I wonder if they also have rubber tires?

pmax 04-12-2020 11:20 AM

Don't the Ferrari's all use G50 type gearboxes ?

How about G50-50 one year tranny, that's acceptable if your selling an 89 Turbo.
