Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

Re-calibration or even calibration would be the word I would use too; however I'm not the one that designed the darn thing. I have had Scott and April at Softronic, Keith at Design 911 and the main service guy at Porsche Hatfield all call it the 'Throttle Body Adaptation' so i'm not going to rock the boat just for the sake of it :) On other cars I have heard it called a 'Throttle Body Alignment' and so I am guessing it just depends on who you talk to. Since we are talking about the Durametric software, i'll stick to adaptation (noun:The action or process of adapting or being adapted. Close enough to be a synonym of calibration one could almost say...) True enough, though that would be a little out the scope of an OBDII interface, considering it stands for 'On Board Diagnostics' and not an all in one 'Change whatever is governed by electronics in your vehicle' :p

John any pictures from Supercar Sunday? How many Spyders were there in total[;)]
Just the one Spyder Daro. Mainly Italian exoctica - only expected since event was at an Italian Hotel Restaurant - excellent lunch with Large screen either end of dining room so could watch F1 GP live. We had our own Porsche parking area to display our cars. Well worth a visit in future years[:)][:)]

Just been quoted £200 for these gt2 largest brake ducts from my OPC, Are they just got and forget or is there any trimming Ect needed? Upgrade my gt3 ducts so did anyone want them or could I fit them to the rear?
 
Such a great write-up in Evo - but their "current value" for the Spyder was way off - £23-33k! There isn't a car for sale today for even the top-end of that range, let alone the bottom!

You need to cut a slot about 3 - 4 inches along the front inner arch for it to slide in. Very easy job,

Yet to read article but with "current values" being so off the mark does make one wonder what planet these researchers live on [&o]
