*IF* I come tonight (got battery issues but its charging well so should be fine) can we just "drive" tonight instead of "thrashing the living guts out of 15 lines to see who is quickest in a follow the leader race".

As usual i'll be towards the back just to enjoy the scenery (actually its because I can never keep up).

Did anyone else come across a Porsche 996 Turbo, Audi S3 and a BMW 540IL screaming down Pacific Hwy on the drive home?

I had just taken off from some traffic lights, when the Porsche came SCREAMING up behind me (it was raining :P ) and tailgated me for about 15 seconds before I changed lanes... He nailed it and went by me... Then the Audi came screaming past... Then the BMW tried to but it was slow :)

Stopped at the next light, they all surrounded me and the passenger in the BMW (which was beside me) leaned out, had a huuuuuuuge grin, and took a photo of my car...

Gave the thumbs up and off we went again... Played with them for about 5 mins until they turned off towards the Harbour Bridge... Was tempted to follow them, but cbf'ed :)

    • I haven't been able to try a coppermix twin but I tried a 997.2 Turbo 6MT the other day with a single plate organic clutch that had all the springs removed so it's "for race use" and a stronger pressure plate. Absolutely miserable to drive. I couldn't feel the pressure plate weight because the pedal has hydraulic assist from the power steering pump but the slip point felt like I had to flex my big toe to control it because it was so sensitive. The clutch also shuddered horribly at the slip point. My best guess looking at the previous owner documentation is they tried to resurface the dual mass flywheel due to supply chain issues + used a stupid clutch with no marcel springs or any of the usual tricks that trade burst strength for driveability. I ordered the coppermix twin. Once it gets here I'll try to figure out whether to shop this job out to a local mechanic I can trust or try to DIY it.
    • I've got a brand new BM57 for this upgrade if you need it.
