Wow, you gotta kill a 930 to get one of them? That would be the perfect solution.

Ok, I think this one is wrapped up. It took 1-1/3 pcs of silicone ducting, three hose clamps, and a 1-1/2" long slice of 2-1/2" exhaust pipe off the shelf at Pep Boys.

The slice of exhaust pipe sits right at the opening of the heat exchangers with the 1/3 ducting sitting inside the exchanger. The fit is within 1/16" and the pipe/hose/pipe looks super clean. Very proud of myself.

Ok, where did you get the fucia flex hose ....you only did the one side huh, I did both, or is that another dif in the 3.2? Gets nice and toasty with the two, it was 55 today and I needed the heat .
Looks good.
My bay always looks like crap as I live on a dirt road...always dusty...luckily Porsche engines never leak leaving a nice swath of oil for the dust to cling to.

It's different. All the stock 3.2 plumbing is still there underneath.

....and the tubing is bright orange on the inside.

Awesome Reiver, thank you for sharing. You'll have to tell us some stories sometime.

....and since it stopped raining and I had a couple minutes I fab'ed up a cruise control cable bracket.

Weight loss has been very good to me.


Took the ridge road from Mt Baldy to Glendora twice today.

Looks like a great drive. We've some challenging 2 laners thru the Mtns too. Some of the straight drop off's keep you honest tho.
I was checking out the TRE meeting and drive on the Pelican...some great cars.

Pulled the interior, stock carpet and rear window deck card, rear side panels etc. and put in the lightweight perlon. I have new respect for interior guys now...I enjoyed it but a lot more work that I expected. Since I had removed all of the padding it has more curves than normal but still looks ok. I think I saved 15 to 20 lbs (rear speaker delete too).
