Cool

Installed adjustable spring plates (had them for the RS project but what the heck), car lowered and aligned... spacers installed in the front wheels (offset was not enough to avoid some scrubbing in the inner wheel well, so a set of spacer was in order...).

And front mounted oil cooler in place:




On a sad note... I no longer own the car... If you guys remember, a friend helped me paid for the work that was pending (bodywork and paint)... well, I sold my portion of the car to him... a deal among friends.

Yes, actually I am. Been up Baldy Road 6 times in the last 10 days. Certainly you saw the picture of her sitting by the ski lift. I had no idea she would turn out so well. The next move is going to be switching to Bilstein struts with raised spindles sport inserts, 20mm bars, and most likely taking the clubsport valance off......but you didn't see that here.

Also, want to give credit where credit is due... Lou @ Aero Dynamics did the work on a few areas in the car. He tuned it, replaced a bad distributor, installed the oil cooler and lines. The car is running perfect thanks to him.

And no, not getting any kick back, just a happy customer.

Aero Dynamics is located inside the Spruce Creek Fly-In in Port Orange. Lou is not only factory trained but he is also an FAA certified mechanic. He brings the same rigor and attention to detail to his Porsche clients as he does to the aviation side of his business. His shop is inside a hangar right off the taxiway.

When your car goes to Aerodynamics, Lou is the only person who will work on it. No understudies, no second tier mechanics. Just the owner, a regular guy who is passionate about his work.

Lou can be reached at (386) 871-7096 - 213 Cessna Blvd. Port Orange, FL 32128

Very sharp car. Almost turned my 3.6 Varioram SC into this style, bought the 930 instead when I added up the cost for bodywork

I have to admit, at times you had me nervous with your ambitious ideas... I think I would sleep in that car if it were in my garage.
So when is Excellence coming to shoot it for the cover?

One down, 7 to go...

Lou @ Aero Dynamics is putting together a engine for the car...

3.2 engine with PMOs, 964 profile cams, different muffler (to get the decent sound this car deserves), and a few other goodies. The idea is to give the car some added power and also make that engine bay look a lot nicer.

Stock engine in the car is working perfectly...that one will be taken out and stored. Not going anywhere. Most likely it will get used in another (read new) project.
