> You should get Doc Brown to build a 6.5L stroker for it, I mean why hold back with just new paint and interior?

Don't encourage the insane people

Thats a great color...I'm sure its stunning in person!

Doc Brown magic is in the plans. If I lived on Oahu where there are more roads and a racetrack, I'd accelerate a stroker build. On Kauai, there is just no place to really strech a stroker, let alone a stock engine 928. But the good doctor and I are working on something good for the engine ... proably different cams/better flowing heads and intake manifold as well as some preventative rod bearing work (#2 and #6 perhaps). Will also replace all rubber and hoses while we are at it. What is true is that any enhancements we do to the engine now will be complimentary to a later stroker build.

Shawn - I'd love to join that stroker asylum you are a member of

Nicole

Wow - I hope that some day I'll get to see the finished product.

I'd love to do exactly the same with my car some day. But so far it's only a fantasy.

Dan,
Looks fabulous. I really like the car, and look forward to seeing it (and you'all) "in person" in September. Hope to see you also in Late July - is that still on your agenda???

Aloha,

Gary Knox

Hi Gary - yep! looking forward to your visit. Pondering those Koa wood door inserts you have for the upholstery option. Not sure how I could get the rest of the required wood pieces manufactured. Getting the wood here is easy.

Nicole - can you/Jaeger Engineering fabricate all of the wood trim pieces if I were to supply the wood? Koa wood from Hawaii is especially beautiful and very solid. Gary had some door inserts made from it and it looks great.

Gary, I've misplaced the pics you sent on this. Can you post them on this thread? Thanks.

Gary Knox

Dan,
Sent the pictures of the Koa inserts by e-mail.

Gary-

Chuck Schreiber

She is going to be a beauty when finished!!

Dan:

If you need somebody to drive that car around for you before it gets shipped to the Islands, let me know.

Beautiful color, indeed. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Peace,
Ken

S4ordie

Bill - funny you should say that. I have been, truly, thinking about having you or someone else wiht extensive 928 experience/ownership/knowledge to drive the car around a bit to get it fully sorted before I put it on the boat. I hope to have everything finished by early fall.

I have updates to this thread that I am having a challenging time adding. I read through the FAQ on how to update/edit a thread, but for the life of me I cannot find the "Edit" icon. Where is it and on what page of the thread?

Second, when I try to upload pictures through the "Post Quick Reply" option and I click on the Upload Pictures icon it opens a dialog box requesting the URL of my pictures? I just want to browse my hard drive and identify the pics I want to upload. How do others edit your original post titles and comments?

Thanks for your patience with noob questions. Perhaps someone could record a few simple instructional videos that could be posted on YouTube for the strugglers like me. As is often the case, it is better to see than to read how to do something.

when posting pictures, i cant do it through "quick reply"

you have to do it through the "post reply" button which brings up a new page, from there you can add pictures assuming they arent too big.

S4ordie

Thanks for the advice Ryan, unfortunately the operation is the same. Typically when I use "Quick Reply" I also click on the "go advanced" option at the bottom of the page which basically gets you to the same screen as "Post Reply". Just learned this.

Result is the same when I click on "Insert Image" icon.... asks for a URL instead of a 'browse' option. Still need to know how to edit the original post. I'd like to update the title from

91 S4 Turquoise Metallic "Refresh"
to
91 S4 Turquiose Metallic "Refresh" Part 2

and then add the new comments and pictures to the end of my original post. Any help offered is greatly appreciated.
