  1. all,

    I need to instructions for adding a resistor to simulate the Airbags in the car - this is to prevent the warning light and code in the DME.

    Here's why: My car has all 4 airbags installed and working. My plan is to A. install a infant seat in the front (the porsche seat is NLA and frankly crappy compared to recent seats). the infant seat will be used only on rare occasions as my wife will be home most of the time but i need a way to transport in the case of emergency.

    Before everyone starts in on the Airbag topic - i know and realise that yes the are safer and that a car seat should not be in the front seat, etc. Porsche provides no other alternative for infant seat mounting from the factory. It's strickely for occasional use only, etc.

    The second reason is that the car will hit the track in the future- i do not want air bags in a track car. I will be using a 6pt harness and custom roll bar with hans device. The steering wheel will also be changed out as well. This will happen in about 1.5 years so the timing with the child seat transport and the track are working out. (i will be moving daily driving chores to another car/955)

    i f you have the instructions/location for placing the resistor - please email it if you are not comfortable posting it here Rlynch@microsoft.com

    I will use them at my own risk and liability.

    Thanks

    Rob

  2. actally the weight may not be as much as an issue as you think.

    The stock wheels are pretty heavy - this is partially negated by the light weight Fikse wheel - the end result should be with in 5-7% overall.

    i'm going to weigh the wheel combo before purchasing though (the guy how has it should allow that NP).

    also i might go with a 295mm rear instead with a 235 front.

    19" are not really an option for me (lack of tires, esp auto-x specific hoosers)

  3. :drive: 1.5" gotcha

    probably not a good idea for me right now with my ride height in the weeds @ 5.5" adding the lip would put me at 4" (yikkes) - probably just go through them like popcorn

    <edit> this is Raised by the way from when i got it by 0.5" as i was having some shock travel issues - hitting the bumpstops on the pss-9's </edit>

  4. Anyone running 315's in the rear on a standard C2 (1999) on 11" wheels

    i have seen one in this neck of the woods but was wondering about the wheels and if there are any clearance issues for the street (20% DE,suto-x, etc)

    offset, type, Tire brand

    also what is the setup for the front with the 315's the car is nice and balanced but more mechanical grip would be very nice, if it does not upset the understeer/oversteer balance i have right now
