Took her out to exercise after the TBWP change event and I love how much better she sounds. Preparing to pull the axles and rebuild them.

i drilled a hole in the battery box so i could route the battery tender cable under the car for charging.

Here's my take on it. Obviously, it's not hooked up yet, but you get the idea.

Thanks AO. It looks like there is more to it if to change a stock system like mine.
It gives me some Ideas though, Thanks

I noticed a tiny spot on the big white snow mound in my yard where a blue covered driver side mirror is starting to show through the receding ice pack. That is better than seeing 100 stupid groundhog shadows.

I made a list:
A/C
Exhaust
Shocks
Tint
Air Pump delete
Motor Mounts
New steering wheel
Front Spoiler
Brakes

all in due time.

The 'new' lift from our group buy last fall is hard at work making the front suspension easy to access for my little disassemble/inspect/clean project. It makes a lot of undercar jobs easy and convenient. On the downside, there's a lot more stuff that needs cleaning now; what was previously out of sight out/ of mind is now in sight. I'm still out of my mind.

Pondered the bits inside my turn signal combo switch ... will it all work correctly when I clean up the contacts and put it back together ...

Bob- Your garage is crooked.

dr bob

No doubt.


I grabbed a cell-phone snappy and just held the phone up high to improve the perspective. Same as 'car hides the cluttered workbench in front of the car'. Anyway, couldn't see the screen image to square it up when I snapped the picture.


I'll try and "straighten it up" before I take any more evidentiary images.

AO if you saw the pile of dirt on which his house is perched you would not be surprised if things were a bit crooked......he has Sherpas down on the fire road just to guide people to his door !

I did some pondering on behalf on my shark:

I read through a bunch of the Surcharger kit recommendation thread and skimmed a few of the related blower vendor websites again.

Didn't find mention of any surcharges anywhere (and certainly not a whole kit of them), but nor were any discounts prominently displayed.


Anyway... I'm being strongly pulled in the Murf Stage III direction. This might just be the year to get boosted. I need to put a little performance gap (in my favor) between my 928 and my wife's G37xS.

We refer to that "pile of dirt" as "fractured granite". It's what dirt is before it turns to dirt. I spent several hours this morning shoveling up a few yards^3 of "fractured granite" that was trying to escape and become dirt.

FWIW, the garage section in the picture is supported by four very strong (read: expensive) 36" dia reinforced concrete caissons about 15 feet deep, tied together with more steel and concrete as grade beams. The local building inspector suggested that it's strong enough to hold up a bridge. We did the same reinforcing at the other end at the rear patio. All together, we plan to find the house where it is after any reasonable ground movement.

Jim, funny, you should mention the Sherpas and the fire road. After 6 years of work, the city finally re-opened the public road access at the east end of the street. Now the little girl-in-the-box navigators can find the place again, without having to resort to my 'drive to the cul-de-sac, up the steep driveway, thread your way around the narrow winding road to the gate' emergency directions. I spoke with a neighbor this morning as he executed a pretty tight u-turn on his way out. "You know that the road is open?" "What road?". In the time they have lived here, that end has never been open. He has no idea how to get to his house the "normal" way. Anybody in the area need a crew of now-unemployed Sherpas?
