Really? How cold? May be a CIS engine thing, too. I remember having to adjust some of my customers control pressure regulators with the change of season when I had the Phoenix shop. (Contrary to popular belief, it is rather chilly there in the morning in winter.)

Back to my weekend's experience. After I strained my back mounting the snows on with my manual changer, it was oil change time for the C4S. All I had around was 15-50, so in it went. The two days up in the mountains were ~20F when I got back to the car after about 6 hours of skiing, and it fired up just like normal and idled fine.

Unsure if compression related (10.45:1, single plug), but it definitely spins quicker on 5w vs 15w from cold (ie left overnight), always has done.

2011 Suburban LT 2500 to tow my Mean Green Machine, 12% off sticker plus they gave me $5,500 for my clapped out 2001. Hard to get a good deal on these as no one seems bothered by $3 gas anymore.

I bought 964 Bumpers and Rockers
964 lights on Friday
A fixed gear Bike

I didn't get it for me, but my sister got me a lip for the 964 front bumper which was sweet.

Didnt buy this, but made it today... if someone has the drivers side I can borrow for a template I will buy a 12 pack of Fat Tire

This took me longer than expected and in the end if Iwas to charge by the hour would have cost $2-300! But I have time for dinking around this week so what the heck....saved $90 from Rennline looks like I saved money too

Now it starts making sense. Didn't know how modified (if at all) your engine is.

Thanks guys. I've yet to "fit" it to the Porsche, in fact, I'm not sure it will fit in the rear. Furthermore, I don't have shoulder belts in the back. I may be retrofitting 968 rear belts if it's a go. Currently Porsche is in pieces.
