    You've absolutely summed up modern/retro classic car ownership - some of the most fun you can have whilst driving, but without having to remortgage the house if it goes wrong! It's exactly why I love my '89 Golf; it looks the part, sounds the part and has no driving aids at all, and if something goes wrong with it, it's easily a sub £200 fix!!

    Your v3’s may need a slight tweak on the compression and rebound settings. They shouldn’t be bouncy at all and shouldn’t crash over bumps. Once dialed in perfectly they ride bumpy roads far better than any standard suspension I’ve ever experienced

    perfect .. I had my suspension set up like that (b16 damptronic) little bit crashy and I scraped mine (always conscious) of scrapping , so I rose it by 5mm - 10mm still in the arches still looks good . Youll find the shock will be a little more compliant .. Trust me dude...

    Great looking car. Surely installation of the new Porsche Classic unit is a job for an Official Porsche Classic service centre? In the video it looks like top left of the unit is not fitted flush. A lovely finishing touch would be to refresh the surrounding grey trim which of course is a little tired owing to the age of the car. Thanks to TGE TV for bringing an engaging 996 project to the channel.

And when you put your foot down, you can drown out James and Archie so it's all good.😜👌👍
