    Thanks for the nice comments
    I went for the 6speed because the revs just dropped too much on the upshifts and the closer gearing now in combination with the 4.1 Torsen matches the engine perfectly. The dyno sheet results roughly translate into 175hp at the crank and 140 at the wheels. It's fun but it's not superfast. However, it's enough to keep up with a Boxster S in the blackwood forest as long as it's not uphill ^^
    I'd love to do some reupholstering on the seats and rebuild the engine but at the moment that's just not within budget

    Well, as of this year, they can remain on the car when you move. But in general, each city or district has their own code (first 1-3 letters).

    Thank you
    The seat covers are from a german company called ma-carstyle. They use really nice thick leather but save a bit on built quality. As you can see, fitment is not really 100%. Still, you cant find a better solution for the price around here and once they are settled in, they are fine. (plus i actually like the slightly loose fitment in some places, reminds me of a leather jacket).

    I will try to take some nicer pictures soon...

    Great car. The last update was enough for me to pull the trigger for a pair of Phoenix edition nb2 seats.
