Got home after work with some day light left, so fitted my new stainless steal door sill trims.

I reinstalled the transmission. It's much easier without the hatch floor and gas tank getting in the way!!!

In the last week I have:

swapped dead temp sensor for new one, replaced my heater control valve, put a K&N air filter in, Changed oil/filter, attempted to tension my alt/ac belt (it's kinda squeeky), and installed a new pioneer deck so I can bluetooth while I drive, as lack of power steering means I need both hands! (plus: safety on the road)

Next up is checking fan relay and maybe replacing the fans, and continuing research into why my car STILL blows hot air on me after having replaced the heater clip, HCV, and temp sensor. :-/

Still wouldn't trade her for the world. <3

I replaced all my vacuum hoses and fitted a new vacuum check valve. I accidentally put vacuum check valve in wrong way and it was only when I fitted it right way around did my heater work properly. It may have been vacuum hoses that fixed it, but as check valve was in wrong way, it caused it to blow hot air the whole time, regardless of setting. This was not the same issue I had before I replaced the vacuum hoses. Anyway replacing vacuum hoses, and vacuum check valve is cheap, so maybe worth considering

I got my new to me front strut bar installed. I cleaned and painted the mounts, and then adjusted the fit!
I also completed p&p work on my throttle body, began p&p work on the turbo intake manifold, and perfected some p&p work in the cyl head intake ports and combustion chamber on a spare head. Once I get that worked out, I will begin the work on my good turbo head. Yes you did read this right I have some turbo parts that I am likely going to put on the car, but I'm keeping the car N/A...(because i can)
It was a great weekend in the garage!!

not on my car, but pulled two engines and cleaned them up with intent of swapping between cars. black car (aka shamu) has a weird suspension setup that is not track-suitable but the engine is good. white car (aka herbie) has good suspension but tired engine.

going to finish up in an hour or so.

After taking a break from port and polishing a spare turbo intake manifold, I got off my butt..actually got on my head, and removed the dme and installed my Wilk chip that I have had sitting around for a couple of months. Took it out for a short cruise to see if I could feel a difference, but never got a chance to open it up (rush hour) and roads were too busy with cars, kids and school buses, so I will have to wait to really try it out. It did feel "snappier" with the throttle.

Took mine out on a few errands this morning. Forgot how much I like the removeable sunroof panel. Loved the sun/warmth in the morning to take a chill out of the air

Also, had no issues passing state Safety and Smog tests. It felt odd having a 20+ year old Porsche pass smog with no concerns. Finally now, the car will be old enough to be smog exempt next year if I register it (gulp!) as an "antique" car

Did a 500km lazy sunday afternoon drive in to Muskoka, had lunch in Bala, then came home via back roads. The car performed smooth as silk.
