Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

After gathering dust for the better part of 18 months mine is now being used properly again and I couldn't agree more with your comments :thumb:
Leading evidence: 'Use properly again and i couldn't agree more' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use properly again and i couldn't agree more' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

After not having time to drive the turbo for quite a while ......
OMFG .... these things are brutal with a few mods , they are so raw by comparison to newer 911's
I have been driving my 997.2 c2s , a nice comfy car that dances round the corners and you can play it like a fiddle. The turbo is like sledge hammer in comparison the rate it stacks on speed is devastating and it just keeps going.
I had forgotten what it was like, i just did not expect to be blown away by it.
But i was :thumb:
Know exactly what you mean there, brutal is an apt description. Took mine to Goodwood last week where, despite having driven the car there, the first time I properly nailed it, the thing just felt massively quick. Awesome cars.
Jon, glad to hear you're using it! I'd heard it was becoming a bit of an ornament? :grin:
After gathering dust for the better part of 18 months mine is now being used properly again and I couldn't agree more with your comments :thumb:
I think the ornament comment is spot on, too many cars. Not enough time
one by one the toys are getting put back in the box for winter, but if the weather stays like this one or two may stay out
They're a beast Jon, even my bog std one.
Drove it to/from York this week, the overtaking gaps are just so much easier in it. Gap? Hoof, done. It's just mental.
My turbo os the only car I own where you really have to watch speeds when overtaking, if overtaking three cars at a time it is easy to be going 100mph+ by the timw you are past the last one. Just fantastic fun cars.

Agree.. my take it they are relentless too... you take off and think "that's quick... still getting quicker.. it's going to slow down in a sec... nope still pulling.. surely soon... still.pulling.hard"
Exactly the same feeling with mine, in fact it's great when you don't use them for a while as you have that feeling to look forward to all over again..
Mine had had a week off...sure made up for that today
Saw a fair few bits of Pork at Bedford Autodrome too, couple of nice GTS's...well, their 'other half's' were very nice anyway
uh:
:grin:
Unfortunately mine is about a month away from having a year off whilst it is in for 'upgrades'. Can't wait to get it back. I have had to drive much slower cars for a year. :sad:

Not driven mine for over 15 months. Decided September 17 to retire her as the DD and she is now being rebuilt. Goodness knows what 650 BHP will feel like!
It'll feel fabulous!
For a while, then you'll think 'I'm sure it used to be quicker' once you get used to it... Then it'll be another slide down the slippery modification slope!
:grin:
Yes you are probably right but I really have thrown the book at this one> At the moment its going onto Motec with a full race dash and real time monitoring back to my builders lap top. Goodness knows what all this means but he promises it will be quick?
