Bwunhilde got a makeover today
Since my work was closed today for bad weather, I loaded Bwunhilde on the trailer and took off for Autometrics in Charleston, SC, 180 miles away.
It was my 1st time there, but they had been recommended, and after a complete suspension rebuild, my 911 was badly in need of a spa treatment.
Corey did a great job. She now sits LOW, corner balanced, aligned with -2.7* camber on all 4, and new Tarrett swaybars set to neutral.
As an added bonus, we put her on the dyno: 208 hp and 192 ft-lbs torque (corrected to temperature); pretty decent I thought for a 30 year old engine with 235,000 miles and never a rebuild.
First DE of the year is in less than 4 weeks!!!! A new learning experience!!

That is neat as all hell.

Indeed. And basically why people fawn over these cars - they're driveable high performance machines that STILL work as cars this many years later. Not many in this category you can say that about.

Luckily, all the cars escaped damage, but I lost several big trees, and the next couple of months will be spent doing cleanup.
