Started putting the large vacuum lines back on. The new silicone hoses are hard to get on there.

yeah, you never know what damage you do to them when you take them off, and for the price of them $15 i think it is, pocket change :P

Got the RMS replaced, new Sachs clutch in, weather here in Florida went into the 30's for a couple of days and I decided not to get pneumonia lying on the cold concrete floor while I installed the bellhousing and drive line. Tomorrow, probably.

I try hide it but i have a pretty bad rust spot on my passenger side right below the door. I have been looking at some of your guys side skirts. How do they install it seems like they would cover up the bad spots really well so all i would have to do is cut out the rust spotsName:  210325_213378212020194_100000440490443_710491_963684_o.jpg

Default i just went 600 miles ++ on a single tank of gas.....

....


i just drove my 968 624 miles from Jacksonville, Florida to just a few miles south of Quantico, Virginia on 1 tank of gas....

car took 19.8 gallons (yeah, cutting it close there)... that's 31.5 going between 65 and 70.

but i cheated...

i spent much of the time driving in the soft air about 80~100 feet behind several 18 wheelers.

Went to install my new alternator:

Found out my A/C tensioning bar was siezed and won't retract far enough (Old belt fits still, new belt is, understandably, tigher)
Off to Exoticar parts in Sydney to get a replacement this afternoon.

Hell are all the gals you know strippers .

Nah look down the 944 Forum and you will see " Low Mileage 944 Worth $20,000 " or something like that and you will see what I am talking about. A 16,000 mile 944 is bidding on ebay .

Got it Smogged (Passed. Very surprised.) And bought a new battery. (No more no starts!)

Still gotta figure out why its running soooooo hot. Next step: Thermostat. (Tried bleeding it like 4 times.)
