The PASM wire has only 2 leads. Should be easy enough for even a total buffoon of a mechanic to fix.

All right so I just drove home, 3ish hours. Rubbing on the front wheels only occurs with bang on full lock and it doesn't sound too heavy. The springs seem to be bedding in a bit now and the ride isn't so harsh. This is my first real performance car and so being honest I have a lot to learn about how to drive it. Think I'll get myself down to the track and grab some tuition. It probably doesn't make any difference what wheels or suspension I've got as I probably don't have the skill for it to count.

The second opinion idea sounds like a winner so I'm taking it to what looks like quite a polished Porsche specialist next weekend. By the looks of it they are heavily into racing their p-cars so I should get better advice there. Get them to fix the PASM and check my wheel configuration.

Generally though I'm more relaxed about the whole thing now. Going to run with what I've got for a while. After all I do think it looks fairly sick.

Wonder what Porsche are going to say tomorrow when I drop them the whole beer bottle top bombshell?!

Thanks for the helpful comments, I'll get some better pics uploaded.
