Haven't been on the site in a while, so I'm just reading this thread.

My only question/comment would be; Isn't this why one spends a few hundred bucks on a PPI at a reputable shop before buying a used Porsche?

Reading this thread only reinforces this well known practice !

Just curious what's up with that fuel cell price? Fuel safe repaired my leaking 356 cell for about $600.

Still have a lot of sorting out left to do, however I did get a chance for the first shakedown at R/A over the weekend

Car does look good. I like those splitters and dive planes. Were they on it when you bought it or did you add them? Looks like the would help keep the front from pushing.

The car came with the splitters and dive planes. They seem to work great in the corners, however the car was a little squirrelly at high speeds. I'm considering remounting them with zeus fasteners so I can potentially remove them at Road America and use them on shorter tracks. The previous owner only ran the car at willow springs. I've never been there. I'm not sure what speeds he hit at willow. At RA I'm sure be able to hit 155-160 with the current gearing.
