PS: Just contact me personally if he goes off on a gibberish rant in this thread again. I'll just delete them so that you all can get back to the REAL topic. Can I have that drink now, Chris? Lol!

Saw your guys' PMs. Thanks for the warning. Holy sheep shins this guy's off his rocker. Shame on me for posting it publicly, but somebody's gotta make him hopefully feel NOT at home here. Ack!

Ah, dang it. Can you wait about ten hours? IF I don't get pulled over (for speeding, if they can catch me)? Lol. Ah, Dallas . . . so dang far NORTH. Sigh.

Yes, I believe that Dallas is north of Navarre. Am I wrong? I suck at geography, I will admit. But if your dog or cat or horse or . . . whatever . . . has something wrong, that I can do. Wait. Dallas is far more west than north of us, huh? Crap. Like I said -- geographically not inclined. I'd say it's a girl thing, but that would be a pretty lousy excuse.

I should hang out here more often. I know nothing of these cars you all drive, not really. But I really should. And NO, I am not buying another Porsche. One is enough. Though, I would like to learn. The numbers make no sense to me. Then again, I have a 911. That number has been around for a looooong time.

Mostly very west! I will grant you a little north though since it's a Monday. Sending you a PM, ha.

Darn. Now I wish I'd routed my business trip (week from tomorrow) through DFW instead of Atlanta. Sigh. Some day . . .

Stew, you need to start your own thread. Your comments are confusing and not related to what Sentinelist is trying to t-shoot. We call this a hi-jack, and while occasional OT posts are ok, you are going overboard in this thread.

PLEASE START YOUR OWN THREAD

Guys . . . stew-gart44 is officially gone unless an admin wants to bring him back. His PMs and even a public message on my profile, coupled with his recent posts here, led to his permanent ban. Now you can get back to why you joined Rennlist.

Hooray!

Update- apparently there is a backorder on the BOSCH distributors. May be a month before I get one according to Paragon. Only one rotor and shaft combo in ATL they are trying to get for me, or maybe I can do with just the rotor? Copper plugs, wires, coil (all BOSCH) should be en-route now for Friday...

You should give Kirk at Zim's a call - he's got all of this in stock and you could pick them up today. Cap, rotor, coil (all Bosch), wires (OEM or aftermarket), and plugs (Bosch Copper).

Not sure what shaft you are talking about... I can't imagine your rotor shaft is damaged or unusable, but that would definitely be a Porsche/PCNA part if it is.

I was thinking about that! I'll see what all I receive from Paragon on Friday, and will call Zims then or Saturday and cancel what was pending. I'd really love to get this thing back on the road for the weekend! Thanks for the recc.

Zim's is closed on Saturday's.

Oh, and most of those prices should be on the website. They don't list everything they carry on the website, but the popular stuff is there. All of these parts should be easy to find and price, and I spoke with Kirk personally this morning and he checked stock.
