PRODUCT CALL SUBSCRIBE TO SFEOERPDAEGTEA1IL2S2 ESSENTIALS Hot products for you and your precious Porsche… DANSK 356 SPEEDSTER BUCKET SEAT The 356 Speedster is one of Porsche’s most desirable products. Among the individual components which make the model so identifiable is its seats, specifically developed to fit the Speedster chassis and taking the form of a metal bucket pressed from a single sheet to ensure lightweight construction. JP Group (the parent brand of Porsche restoration parts manufacturer, Dansk) has now re-launched the 356 Speedster seat as a family of chairs for enthusiasts to park in their dealer showrooms, garages, mancaves or other cosy environments. Bringing the exact seating position of the 356 Speedster from car to chair rack, this hand-crafted Porsche pew maintains the original bucket’s seat angle. The framework is constructed from 22mm-diameter pipe with stabilisers in 6mm steel (choose between chrome or powdercoated black finishes), while the seat bucket is pressed from 1mm rigid deep-draw sheet metal. For enhanced comfort, an exclusive perfect-fit leather cushion can be optioned in either white or black. A reclining frame is also available at the point of purchase. Price: From £882 design911.co.uk or call 0208 500 8811 WAHLER LOW TEMPERATURE THERMOSTAT FOR 996/997/987 Reducing the engine operating temperature of your 996, 997 or 987 Boxster/Cayman is an excellent way of helping prolong the life of your Porsche’s flat-six and reducing risk of dreaded bore score. A phenomenon much talked about, the primary cause of scoring is piston rings wearing the standard Lokasil bore material until it gradually releases small, hard, gritty pieces of silicon which rub between the piston and cylinder bore until oil washes them away. Earlier engines featured a hard-coated piston which could resist the resulting damage, but EU legislation enforced the move to a softer coating, which can be worked away or penetrated by the silicon particles, eventually leading to a scored bore. Manufactured by Wahler, Heritage Parts Centre’s low-temperature thermostat opens at 71°C instead of the 83°C specified at the factory, thereby allowing coolant to circulate more freely and earlier in the engine’s heat cycle, keeping the pistons within a safer operating temperature range. Each thermostat is supplied with the required gasket and is suitable for installation by an enthusiastic home mechanic or experienced specialist.

A popular upgrade for the 930 and 964 Turbo, this modern performance part promotes fast spool-up and therefore hugely reduced lag over the standard 911 Turbo’s 3LDZ snail- shaped bhp booster, delivering better throttle response and improved drivability. Mid-range and top-end performance is noticeably increased, with maximum boost spooling 500rpm earlier than standard. Pleasingly, swapping your force-fed air-cooled 911’s factory turbocharger for a K27 is a straightforward process made easier with assistance from a Patrick Motorsports installation kit, including all necessary gaskets and fasteners. Not to be confused with rebuilt turbochargers, these brand-new BorgWarner performance parts are available with worldwide shipping direct from the Patrick Motorsports online store, where you can take advantage of a discounted purchase price.

PRODUCT CALL BLACKSTONE TEK (BST) GT TEK LIGHTWEIGHT CARBON-FIBRE WHEELS FOR 991 GT2 RS/GT3/GT3 RS/992 GT3 W inner of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) 2021 award for best new wheel, BlackStone TEK (BST)’s GT TEK hollow-spoke centre-nut wheels for the 991 GT2 RS, 991 GT3, 991 GT3 RS and 992 GT3 are manufactured using carbon-fibre pre-impregnated with epoxy resin and include a combination of four variations of weave and modulus of fibre. These materials are accurately and precisely hand-placed in the desired position and orientation during the manufacturing process in order to ensure optimal structure. Following the layup of fibre plies, the wheels are cured in a pressure and temperature-controlled environment, ensuring the consolidation of all layers, resulting in an extremely rigid monocoque structure. Wheels produced by BST — the world leader in carbon-fibre wheel manufacturing for more than two decades — are renowned for reducing road noise, lowering rotational inertia, providing quicker acceleration, later braking, improved handling, better fuel efficiency and, as you can see here, spectacular and unique aesthetics. All BST wheels are produced in accordance with the ISO 9001 standard, and all details pertaining to manufacture available on request. Additionally, each wheel is given a unique serial number and RFID tracking/data tag, uniquely designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures involved in the curing of composite laminate. As you’d expect, all BST wheel designs confirm to DOT E requirements. THE FIRST AND ONLY MONOCOQUE WHEEL OF COMPLEX PRE-PREG CARBON-FIBRE STRUCTURE CURED IN A SINGLE PROCESS BST’s GT TEK is the world’s first ultra-light wheel for supercars, tipping scales at an astonishing 5.885kg at the front and 7.750kg at the rear. This is significantly lighter than the Porsche Weissach BBS magnesium wheel (9.5kg at the rear) and the Porsche GT centre-lock aluminium wheel (13kg). Make no mistake, this is a jaw-dropping achievement for a carbon-fibre wheel certified for both road and track use. Additionally, GT TEK is the first and only 100% carbon-fibre wheel (no metal parts), the first and only completely hollow-spoke carbon-fibre wheel and, last but by no means least, the first and only monocoque wheel of complex pre-preg carbon-fibre structure cured in a single process. Reassuringly, GT TEK has been extensively tested to the highest international standards, a factor key to winning the SEMA award, which recognised the product as being the safest production wheel on road or track, complying with all JWL standards. Combine this with optimised stiffness, as well as direct OEM fitment, and it’s easy to see why these astonishing wheels are of such huge appeal to owners of applicable Porsches looking to radically reduce the unsprung weight of their cars in the pursuit of faster pace and greater performance. Choose between carbon satin, red satin, carbon gloss, gold satin and gold gloss finishes. To view all available sizes and offsets, including OEM and aftermarket options, visit the BST website.

PRODUCT CALL UPDATED RIMBLADES ORIGINAL ALLOY WHEEL RIM PROTECTORS Rimblades is expanding its product range for 2022. The company’s flagship offering — the curve-designed Rimblades Original alloy wheel rim protector for rounded-edge wheels — has been redesigned and redeveloped to great success.

And, unlike other similarly marketed products, Rimblades wheel rim protectors can be quickly (and cost effectively) switched out for a replacement ‘blade’ after heavy impact, meaning you no longer have to endure tatty wheel protectors after a scrape. Rimblades Original is suitable for wheels measuring up to twenty-four inches in diameter and comes with instructions for easy DIY installation. A new range of accompanying alloy wheel cleaning products is also available to buy when placing your order at the Rimblades online store.

Simply put, the faster the car, the faster the processor you need to take advantage of. Whilst my mind still works quickly enough to make me competitive in a moderately fast race car, such as one of Porsche’s Carrera Cup machines, were I to step back into a Le Mans sports-prototype or equivalent, I would undoubtedly found myself lacking. Looking ahead to my advanced years, the great news is I will remain fully competitive when moving around on a mobility scooter. l 9a347045-5cfb-4fa3-9144-8a7ff2edadd8 June 2022 33

And, of course, the use and storage of what’s now considered a classic or modern classic is likely to have changed. An air-cooled 911, for example, is unlikely to be used as an everyday car in the present. Many of these Porsches will be tucked away during winter, only coming out to play when the weather is good. Regardless of an oil’s altered ingredients, there are very real considerations you should keep in mind regarding the type and make-up of oil left in your car in this setting, which clearly differs from what the manufacturer had in mind at the point the originally recommended oil type and service interval frequency were written in its handbook. As I’ve already revealed, I’ll shortly be sharing some of the extensive research my company and others in the industry have carried out on this front. Rest assured, there’s a suitable modern engine oil to help prolong the life of your Porsche, no matter how frequently you use it. l 9a347045-5cfb-4fa3-9144-8a7ff2edadd8 June 2022 35

Rotating the engine brought forward the need for a different gearbox, albeit still a seven-speed double- clutch PDK semi-automatic (there’s no manual option). There’s a handful of other fresh components, too. The quarterlight windows have been replaced with air intakes, for example, while the conventional Cayman’s rear-quarter intakes have been retained and used for engine cooling. Additionally, there are some proud vents in the front wings. Then there’s the more efficient rear wing, which is similar to that of the new GT3, complete with swan-neck supports. 38 June 2022 9a347045-5cfb-4fa3-9144-8a7ff2edadd8

Not just for pros ® Treat your Porsche to Driven high performance oils Renowned racer Phil Hindley has been using Driven oils, not only in his race cars but also as part of the offering of oils in Porsche specialist Tech 9’s workshop and in his personal cars. Driven Racing Oil range of lubricants have higher levels of anti-wear additives such as ZDDP than API rated on the shelf oils. The focus is on protecting the engine from wear and to lower operating temperatures. Due to its bonding properties, engines have excellent protection from startup, even after long periods of no use. In addition a special additive stops internal engine corrosion caused by E5 and E10 fuels. Derived from racing, the Driven oils can take more heat cycles before loosing viscosity, resulting in more consistent oil pressure and better protection. The Driven DT40, which is a fully synthetic SAE5W-40 engine oil, is specifically developed to stop cylinder scuffing in early water cooled 911 engines.
