Today - drove it to work 
Over the weekend - tightened up the alternator belt a little (squeaked for a few seconds on cold starts), identified (I think for *certain* now) where my 2 leaks are coming from and slowed down one of them (PS line.) Oh and gave it it's first real bath of the year - washed off 6 months worth of dust from being parked in the garage.

Saturday I raced my 944 spec for the first time in a long time. Car ran great and the driver did pretty well two. 1 third place and leading the second race before a red flag and race stopage. Race did not count due to not enough time having passed. At least the car ran great!
Fun time.
Fun time.

Oh, well thats better at least. I was changing the oil last night, well got it halfway done at least. I couldn't find my oil filter wrench. Gotta guy a new one after work today. Anyways, I noticed that the PS rack is leaking around the boots. Just a couple drips here and there. Bastage!

Its right next to the distributor cap. Behind the passenger head light bucket. Also next to the headlight motor. I tried to twist mine off with my hand but it was on too tight.

The 951 was lowered onto all four wheels and taken for a short shake down run for the first time in four months today... must say I have missed the feeling. I did find that I have an oil leak on either the turbo feed or drain line at the turbo... sux....

LOL.. kinda.... it helped me get my steering wheel back from the upholsterer .. I have been trying to get her off the jack stands for a couple of weeks, but was waiting on the wheel to be finished. I also picked up the leather from the embroidery shop for my horn pad this morning. SO now I have a steering wheel with no horn pad 
How was the remainder of the trip?
