I go back and forth, been racing MX for a couple decades, now into SCCA trails, might get a new CRF450 this year and give up the 944, probably not though, just a little frustrated with the maintenance required on the 944 for racing.

Drove down my sunny dirt road deep in bear country to warm it up. Hoped that the fans would work after replacing the thermo switch and relay. Seems as though only the driver's side would go on...

Pulled the radiator, front sway bar and assorted vacuum hoses to get the engine out.
Got stuck because I forgot I don't currently have a puller to get the front tie rods off.

I ordered some new parts today for my newly acquired 89 S2 including:
clutch master cylinder
clutch slave cylinder
blue hose, clutch hose, firewall gasket etc.
right fog light lens (really...no one makes these cheaper?)
steering wheel cover
shift boot and shift ****
center storage tray/armrest
All in all it was an expensive day but the car was the right price so why not. I mean sure it has 204,000 miles but it makes all the right noises and none of the bad ones.

Pulled, opened, checked DME for bad solder joints, cleaned and burnished connectors and contacts. Same with the TPS and AFM. Pulled and regapped plugs. Hesitation on acceleration is now history. On to the next issue: water leak during rain on passenger front foot well. Its a new windshield so not sure if it's from that or down tube from sun roof drain.

Last week I drove from Albuquerque to southeast KY in mine to attend a really cool gathering of early (48 - 60) Ford trucks. Way out in coal country in the Appalachians. Some mighty "interesting" roads in the mountains, no Armco... 1,660 miles so far with no issues, heading to Chicago area now. Total trip length will be 4,200 miles +/-.

Finished putting the intake back on my daily driver. I removed a shot glass worth of aluminum from the afm. I did this mod to my cab last year, so now I'm doing it to my daily driver. I resisted the urge to port out the tb, so I can determine any seat of the pants difference with the afm mod alone..I'll have to wait and see. It is the main restriction in the intake afterall. "while I was at it" I cleaned all the connectors, and cleaned everything else that was in the area. I'll likely do the tb next weekend if I have time.
