just did a bunch of math and came to the realization that my 944 has a lower cost-per-mile than a 2010 civic

ya my gf got me some 7 in projector headlights for xmas (i think the 300$ ones on ebay cause i havent seen em anywhere else), and i got an alpine "antennaless" antenna, its just the kind that sticks to the inside of your windshield... when i got my 951 it had an aftermarket radio installed but no antenna plugged in and i couldnt find it anywhere behind the radio in all that wire mess so i just got one of these

Yes.



Today I hardwired in my new Passport 9500ix.

While I had the A-pillar apart, I ran the lines for my boost gauge and wideband O2 sensor gauge.(I'll need these when I swap in the turbo engine)

making the first sound recordings of my exhaust.

the first recording is slightly overpowered at idle because the exhaust tone is so deep on the low end of the sound spectrum !

however.....

you can get a very good idea of what the exhaust sounds like at higher rpms all the way up to wot with nothing to hold the variocam back.... and how relatively quiet it is at idle vs wot.... (best if heard on a good pair of headphones).

here's the first attempt (post # 80)...

https://rennlist.com/forums/968-foru...e-968-a-6.html


i'll go back out and try to make a better recording that plays the exhaust at idle a little better.

You're talking about the homemade relatively cheap exhaust you came up with right?

Both front wheel bearings. The passenger side inner bearing was f'ed... The rollers came out as I pulled the hub off and the bearing cage looks like it took a bomb blast.

the components were selected through a rather extended process of trial and error. this is basically the 3rd attempt after tearing off the heavy stock exhaust..... to demonstrate just how much of a catastrophe the original system truly is, check out the photos posted by orphanmower as he attempted to make a fix.

https://rennlist.com/forums/968-foru...options-2.html

my pipes were bent and components installed by a very good exhaust man near my home.

he did a rather spectacular job shaping the S pipe.
