autocross numbers

[Bama]

Has anybody used the re-usable vinyl numbers for autocrossing. Getting tired of blue painter's tape. On-line they claim 7-10 re-uses?????

I have no experience with re-usable numbers but they're probably ok, especially for autocross where the speeds are limited. (Some reviews have mentioned issues with them staying on at higher speeds.)

You could also consider simple, single-use vinyl die-cut numbers. They're relatively inexpensive and easy to use. The online company I linked below sells them in packs of 10. Number/letter height sizes from 1" to 8" for the die-cut series that I use. I've used their products and have had no issues so far.

I've used the reusable vinyl. Reuse works best when used on glass. Glass needs to be freshly cleaned, if not the vinyl picks up the dirt and over time they will no longer be sticky. For autocross they work fine, for DE, I found would need to tape the leading edge of the number or it might lift.

Thanks guys! Great input.

Don't do what I did: allow the decal to stick to itself by losing the sheet of paper that prevents this when you store it away. I found it impossible to separate the two edges once that happened.

I just explored the 'pedrosgarage.com' website and there are a lot of interesting things there, including old photos, technical articles, DIY guides, products, service and more - all dedicated to Porsche only. Pretty cool!

From the home page: "We are Porsche owners, racers and enthusiasts ourselves and have been for many years, and we actively participate in Porsche events all over the Country."

I think some here might find the 1964 to 1977 901 & 911 options codes list helpful.

Looks like a source of how-to's, parts, self-repairs, and more.

There's a bunch of interesting things.

However, re-check your link Jeremy - it's going to the TechnoLab page but the page is not resolving to any one product. It seems as though the link is corrupted since the page is not displaying correctly either. Which product were you looking at?

Trying again, the Techno brace, this one is for the later 981 and 718 cars. Stiffens up the rear upon cornering. Wondering if this is marketing hype or a real improvement?
