Some observations after the short drive:
- The car drives soo much better with the M030 suspension on. The original suspension was still in good shape, but this just feels a lot better in reaction. Really happy with it already.
- It is quite a bit too loud for my liking. Not a real issue when hammering it down some country roads, but I already feel it can wear me (and the cars around me) out. I'll see whether I get used to it, or whether moving to the final exhaust is in order (have my eye on either 981 or 982 OEM PSE exhausts).
- The speedo works with the ABS unit connector terminals swapped. Already checked it by hand before, but happy to see it as it surely is a requirement for the test
- Visibility is really poor. Basically I am looking straight at the window frame. Can see the road fine, but looking in the distance or even up to traffic lights is near impossible. I'll need to lower my ass at least 2" to have good visibilty.
- The new clutch (just SACHS OEM 2.5L clutch) is making the drive much more enjoyable. Previous one was worn to the rivets and made clutch actuation like driving a truck.
- Shifting is soo much improved. The old 5sp was very notchy, the lever throw was long and there was enough play in the mechanism to need to guess the gear. The G87 box is much (!) smoother and the 987 mechanism more precise. Still not as good as I would want it to be, but miles better than before.
So in many aspects the car is starting to come my way
