I joined the PCA Chesapeake Region in July and I have gone to many events since joining.
It has been a lot of fun.
Today was the Chesapeake Challenge and there were many events and one was Concours and People Choice awards.
I won 1st place in my model class 924/944/968/928 with my Guards Red 944.
I was very honored and if wasn't for the help and knowledge I have gained here on Rennlist this would have never happened.
Attached is a picture of my award.

I fixed my cycling valve and now my 89 951 works as (slowly) as it should...so I ordered chips!
I also turned the Konis in the front from full kill to slight adjustment--the highway ride was MUCH better.

Bought a black shift boot off of Rennbay to replace the old maroon one. I guess I suck at arts and crafts, I cant get the leather to bunch up nice and neat where it meets up with the shift pattern cap

one of the most difficult parts to source is the correct transmission for high top end at 300+ horsepower...
944 transmission combinations work well to solve this dilemma, but i wanted a transmission preserving "6" usable gears.
Porsche sold the last 968 Turbo S transmission for the street with the "180 mph" 6th gears a few years ago.
today was a very good day because i saved almost $2 k on some critical parts for building a close replica of the "968 Turbo S" box....
i purchased two very hard to source, Audi S4 2.7 twin-turbo 01E 300 045G - 5th and 6th gearsets... w/ 5th perfect, 0.806, and 6th: 0.684 gears.... and what made it really special was
that i paid for only 400 dollars for the 2 gearsets ! (good things come w/ over a year waiting) !!
these two sets will set you back almost two grand from the dealer,
and it's almost impossible to get people to part the transmissions for their fertile gearsets...

audi ratios table: http://www.elektro.com/~audi/01E/
win for the seller as he gets to keep the box for a customer who wants it for shorter track gears...
these are basically the most usefull gearsets that will swap into the stock 968 box for supercharger,
turbo and LSx projects and 170-190 mph top speeds.
5th gear becomes a very usable highway gear, quite a bit taller than the stock 968 5th gear and will take the car easily to 80~120 mph (about 150 at redline ?) before changing to top gear and 6th tops out at about 180 mph at 6000 rpm for running the 275-35-18 tire....
don't yet have the horsepower to make use of the gears. but sometime in the future as i now have a fresh transmission on the side w/ only 48 k miles for installing the gears. or i can use my existing box and do a full rebuild.
