]that the rear deck opens like an Audi R8 Spyder and that's a manually folding unlined roof as I suggested to Porsche back in 2011 am I entitled to a free example in lieu of design rights [&o]

Road signs in English? Looks like the usual, somewhere in the States where guys build their own.ORIGINAL: daro911https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWLvIfxHuKg If we can all agree [ORIGINAL: kitchensYou need to keep up with things on the spyder web this is old news [
Pictures are from Cape Town SA[
] http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows-geneva-motor-show/porsche-plans-911-gt3-rs-supercar-turbo-911-range-and-new-918 Boxster This will also receive the new four-cylinder engine. Moreover, there will be a new variant that’s likely to be the most sporting model in the current range. Tipped as a replacement for the popular Spyder of 2011, the car - possibly bearing the Club Sport name - is expected to have a little more power and a lot less weight.
As the Cape Town Boxster mule is running larger brakes (GT4) front extra cooling intake (GT4) is it fair to assume it has the 3.8L engine despite the www rumour mill sugesting it's going to be a GTS engine in a lighter stripped back quicker Boxster [&o] Wouldn't expect it to have the same bhp as the GT4 but would have thought they would have shared the same engine Anyone else got views on this ultimate 981 Boxster in the range shortly
Weight saving can be as before and the heavier folding roof gain could be offset by the lighter sport chassis set up compared to the more complex heavy PASM. Still doesn't address why the Boxster would need the bigger brakes and extra cooling for the current GTS spec engine even in Cayman tune[&o] Any chance it will have the base 911 3.4 / 350 bhp[
] with its 50kg weight saving and PDK that should make it into a pretty hot Boxster with a 0-62mph circa 4.6 seconds

thanks for that, i always like a bit of upholstery work, it is rewarding seeing the results, next a sports design sterring wheel and perhaps door handles in red, trying to work out how to do the twin needle stitching for the handles, may have to take the cut fabric to an upholsters with a twin needle machine, we will see

Keith, It can depend on the make of your sewing machine--you just buy a twin needle,which has 2 needles on a single machine mounting shank,thread up both needles using the spare thread bobbin spindle,the thread tensioner handles both threads & the shuttle apparently handles both needles -2 of my wife's machines do twin needle stitching-one's a fancy Husqavana computer driven for embroidery as well as conventional sewing,the other a Bernina ,40 yrs old,with mechanical cam mechanism.
