Good thread here. My list is getting shorter, thankfully --

1. [*]
2. [*]
3. [*]

To be done...

1. Buff entire car
2. Pull front carpet, detail trunk
3. Install rear seat straps (leather)
4. Finish detailing interior

This should keep me busy for awhile. Last step is ENJOY IT.

UPDATE:

The mystery dashboard squeak is gone. All it took was some WD-40 on the ashtray.

I had a fast left turn signal this morning. Removed the bulb and stuck it back in there real good. Problem solved.

Aah, it's good to tackle a problem and get your hands dirty!

Well after driving on a track yesterday being stuck between two GT3's I think I need new tires now

It was parade tour of the new testing facility track at Roanoke Rapids NC.

Passing was prohibited but at least speed restrictions were lifted

If parade laps showed weakness in your tires, a real DE or TT would've been a real eye opener.

easy man, you are going to break the bank with those high dollar repairs
I love it when "fixing" is so simple... I have a horn issue that "might" be as simple as a ground wire... I hope it is

Ed Hughes

I hope they weren't too dirty...if so, wash the car first.

Tires were getting slippery by the 15th lap (street tires)and I didn't expect to hit the rev limiter in 4th on a few occassions.

Targa runs much better now

Replace oil cam lines. I currently do not see any drips on the garage floor but this was about the only negative that came out of the PPI when I bought her a month ago. I am also thinking about putting the engine sound pad in (mine is missing) but I read it can be a PITA with the engine in. Is this true?

Part of me likes the noise of the engine but my wife will ride with me more if I can quiet it down a bit to where we can have an actual conversation.

I heard installing something light dynomat underneath the rear deck and seats can help quiet the engine noise in the cabin.

I'm feeling pretty fortunate. My 88 Targa is running like a champ. I'm saving up for rotors, calipers, pads, etc. Anyone have a good set of calipers fs??

Even if My SC were running perfect i would NEVER say that out loud as it would annoy the Porsche gods and something surely would break

Spent all day adjusting the window and door, then putting the door back together.
And every two years my 911 becomes a research vessel as I check co% and put the cat back on. This is my second weekend on "little things" type work on the 911.

It's break time to enjoy a Double-Double hamburger and Diet Coke.
