I can hear the floor calling out for a giant Porsche emblem...

Changed hardline vacuum hoses into silicone, and did proper layout of the system it was messed up before, all i can say i didnt expect that much difference in drivabillity, car feels much more responsive and quicker

Over the weekend did an oil change and replaced the hatch pin seats from only944.com. SO QUIET now! A lot nicer to commute in now.

on my way home from Daytona Saturday after attending the PCA 944 Cup Finals as a spectator with some Orlando 944 buddies I stopped to "stretch" in the town of Howey In The Hills. A perfect op for a few shots, here's one!

Vac line kit, and some other bits and pieces under the bonnet. Now she's in the shop for ball joint kit and strut cartridges (kyb's). The journey back to 'stock' continues.

Not today, but over the past two weeks I pulled the Koni yellow adjustable coilover suspension, S engine and bolt-in cage out of my LeMons car and got rid of the bare chassis. Last weekend I installed the suspension and S engine into my 87 NA street car. Not sure what I will do with the cage yet.

That car has sat for a while after the bottom end of the old low mileage engine met a nasty end thanks to a rogue piece of concrete in a tight section of an off-ramp on I 495. Finally getting around to having enough time to work on getting it back on the road.

Replaced the pedal pads, readjusted the rear 19mm sway bar (it was on different holes side to side) and stiffened up the rear shocks a bit. Staged the snow tires in the garage for the imminent winter. Installing delrin swaybar bushings and swaybar brackets this weekend.

Last night I fixed the "Number Plate" light, ended up replacing (and cleaning) both, did the inside door handles the day before, Ready and willing to drive, but now must wait half a month for inspection by the man. Jeez.
