Thx. Ordered the OEM style hoses and clamps. With no record of the hoses ever being changed, I thought it might be a good idea to do it pre-emptively.

Good plan on the preventative changing of the hoses. I changed mine on the roadside today. Everything went well. The car and I are home both in good working order. I will be ordering a top hose from Pelican in a few minutes to complete the set.

I do NOT want to be the guy who kills a 25 minute track session by dumping a load of coolant onto the track. Very bad form.

Drove it because it wasn't 123123 degree's outside today. Then as night hit I realized how many FCKING bugs covered my front bumper and above my windshield!

Then, said "Fck it". And killed the little fckers faster.

Not exactly, some cars have the PCM in the engine compartment and some have them in the car, plus some year and model option changes.

The harness in question was originally in the engine compartment, it is being relocated to the stock 944 location, along with some serious trimming and cleaning up.

Recharged my AC (got a face full of 134a accidentally ) replaced O-rings, drier, etc.

While I was under the car doing that, I noticed my high speed fan was not working due the harness being in terrible condition. Repairing that now.

Maybe if I'm motivated enough, I'll paint and install those 968 mirrors too.. or maybe clean my car for the first time in god knows how long..

Got the front end aligned after having the engine out, had the front wheel bearings checked after those were replaced over the winter, and drove it about 40 miles to get over 100 miles driven on the rebuilt engine. This afternoon it'll be time for another oil change and if I'm feeling motivated maybe I'll install my 968 M030 sways.

replaced all the battery lines with the iceshark kit,great quality, it was amazing how shot the old cables were, replaced all the vacuum lines, and did a tune up, amazing the difference in how it runs now.

also dropped a nut into the timing cover and spent 2hrs getting in out.

Yesterday and this morning I started on making my own euro fog lights, tinted the quarter windows, sanded the intercooler hard pipes to be painted, rewired the amp, installed a pair of 1990 dealership floor mats, installed the new black Turbo emblem on the rear, and some other stuff.
