do those hood vents have the little lever so you can direct the flow?
Good heavens, no! These are vastly superior!!! Why, consider these fine features:
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum vent
All purpose intake ventilation with pre-punched fastening holes
Surface mount design for easy installation
Yes, you, too can be the envy of your P-car resto/mod buddies with help from Master Flow the master in low-tech flow-through venting solutions. Flow Master -- available everywhere (including Home Depot for $1.98. Comes in three colours. Supplies may very. We recommend calling ahead to avoid disappointment.)
Trying to get all the left over maintenance issues done on my recently acquired car. (87 Alpine white 924s with luxurious Porsche Script Sport seats and lots of deferred maintenance) Last brainiac put the wrong battery in the car reversed the polarity locations crossed cables and bashed down the metal stud for the mounting clip. Replaced with correct battery attempted to defy physics and bend stud back up. Did not work snapped left with ugly stud. Die grinder in action ground it down sparks everywhere got remaining stud down the sheet metal. Punched it drilled it tapped it. Titanium bits oh yeah. Dropped an M8 x 1.25 bolt in the hole. Too short had to flip the battery hold down clip but it worked and battery is secure... (that took place somewhere around midnight). Are we having fun yet?

Reason: clarifications

"Deferred maintenance" is something that haunts us all. Cleaning up the messes from those idiots who have gone before us...but hey, someone has to do it.
I was able to get the new bearing races pressed into my front wheel hubs yesterday. A concave dental mirror will help you see that the race is against the internal step quite nicely. If you decide to bang them in with a race/seal driver while they are hot like 350-400 degrees be sure to have some sort of support below just the hub....otherwise the wheel bolts all pop out. I chilled the races at -18 F overnight before trying this. They warm up quite quickly, I was unable to get them all the way into the hub so I finished up with a 10 ton hydraulic press. Now they are all seated very nicely. Re-seated all the wheel bolts too...It would be very nice if you have an oven fairly close to a press or a vise to press the races in.. My garage is about 150 feet from my oven and my workbench so they cooled quite a bit before I could get them to the bench.
If it is the nipple that feeds the clutch master, you;ll have to replace the reservoir...I got one from Sonnen Porsche from Germany..Took me about two months to get a new one..for about 115.00 if I remember right. Depends on the year of the car..some reservoirs are different..
I took my 1983 to Hallett Motor Racing Circuit in Oklahoma for a track day. Got in 6 15 minute sessions and the car performed great. Suspension work I have done includes: 16x7 and 16x8 Fuchs replicas on 205/55 and 225/50 BF Goodrich RE71Rs, Koni Sport shocks front and back, 200lb Weltmeister springs in front, 25.5f/18r sway bars, new front control arms with new bushings, Hawk HP Plus pads all around, new front strut bearings.
@911Ragtop I was pretty happy with the results, but like most guys I am always thinking "more!". My times were in-line with what is expected of a 944 on that track, which is slow (1:46) by the standards of a modern performance car. I do know that a Spec 944 can hustle around the track much faster (1:30) and keep up with a lot of current machinery. I am debating going to 250lb front springs and corresponding torsion bars (at the least replacing my torsion bars to match the current 200lb springs), trying the cookie cutter wheels with 225/50-15 R tires (smaller size provides a gearing advantage which would be nice), and possibly upgrading to the 30/19 sway bars. All that being said, the car was a blast to drive. Hallett is a short (1.8 mile), technical track (10 turns, elevation changes) that I drove mainly in 3rd gear. The brakes were really good. I'm sure my times would improve somewhat if I pushed the car harder, but I am a bit of a chickens**t. The fun factor was great!
Just picked her up from the shop. New timing belt and a good look over. Finally getting the old girl back on the road after the transaxle broke. Just have to finish the headlights and give here a good detail.
