...nothing to my 944, but I changed my username from the generic 944TurboYYC to KVDR.

Took it for a jaunt up into the mountains west of Denver- lots of fun twisties on Hwy 6, and then the joy that is a 944 on US-40 over the Continental Divide at Berthoud Pass! Topped out at just over 11,000'!

Turbo oil cooler install on the NA race car. Was really hoping for a 0-leak startup but found that the oil pressure sensor was leaking (and no longer reading pressure). Replaced with a spare unit and tightened it down and all appears to be well. No leaks.

Now I just need to fab up a mount for the actual oil cooler.

Replaced my leaking heater control valve. I had no idea I could contort my hands in the ways I needed to to reach that damn thing.

Amen to that. I had the wonderful experience of dropping that stupid clip a couple times, then giving up on finding it, ordering a replacement, then finding the one I lost the next day...

No kidding! At least with the 944 most tools and pieces that you drop will probably come right out the bottom of the engine bay anyhow. My wife's mk4 Golf has a much more extensive belly pan and splash guard setup that means that if you drop something, you may not see it again without removing approximately 8,000 torx screws and 4 covers.

Took off from work and made a new shifter boot today. Sorry about image size.
