Oh, I've known Gordon and Cory for a long time too. That's why I had them did it. Top notch guy, top notch shop.
this is Paul Gutowski's old engine for anyone that knows Paul and Kim.

Good to hear. Gordon took a chance on me in the late 80s. I was 17, had been building VWs and then some e21 BMWs and sourced parts from Gordon. My parents both had cars that Gordon serviced. Gordon lost a tech due to an injury, liked the work I was doing on my BMW and offered me a job around school hours and before college. I was there when we moved to the current location but went on to work at other (Porsche only) shops, then the dealer, and some other specialty/motorsports outfits. In all, I have 20+ years working on German cars and it all started with Gordon giving me a shot. I took an opportunity with a family business outside the auto industry, but consider Porsche/Mercedes/BMW my career and would go back if I needed. Gordon gave me my first shot and I will always be grateful...my life would be a lot different without him (and others), but him primarily.

Not sure Bob. Your car looks familiar and I used to do a bunch of DE/test tunes with Gordon, Crown region, citrus region, etc, mostly at Roebling. I try to do Carolina's stuff here in the mountains as well as the 928 event and the Boxster guys here too. Your name seems so familiar, perhaps a DE coordinator? We may have crossed paths, but I think I recognise you from the Carolina's Region, at least in name.
Regardless, I will seek you out at upcoming events and meet a fellow Porsche enthusiast. I'm out of the wrenching biz now, but am eagerly involved in the community and thrive on the participation around our marque. It's been such a big part of my life for so long.
If you're ever in this area, by all means, let me know.
Kindest regards
Scott Woody

You wouldnt by chance know John Forbes would you?

John Forbes. Not sure. I have met a number of guys from our region that "summer" here in the mountains. Could he possibly be one of them?
Thanks for 'bugging' us. I appreciate all you and our other PCA officers do.

Burning Brakes

Love it! Thanks for posting more pics. I bet the car is a blast to drive.
No parking brake? I guess it is a full time race car, but you could go with 930 rear rotors and add plain old 911 park brakes to the car with a little fabercation.
Running full fiberglass, where else would you lose weight on the car?
Also I have 2 901 transmissions that I am contemplating on using on my car and am very courious to how they will hold up with that much torque.
