and everything about it is perfect, as I embrace the Zen
That's it.
oh, and the mirror designer is a deity too.

Seen worese. Have you worked on an A6?

If you don't like a tightly engineered engine bay, buy a ford focus or a ford van with the V8.
Alternatively if you need lots of room, buy a old domestic, just don't plan on turning or stopping quick!

I thought the mirrors have served very well in all corresponding Porsches for many years.

I have to admit, the mirror wiring is pretty insane.

What's wrong wit the mirrors? The flag ones are better than the Aeros, but the Aeros look a lot nicer.

It is far better than many as far as access.

Try a TT300ZX, you can open the hood and throw a double handful of 1/4" sockets in there and not one will hit the ground.

^^^^^
I would like to have a TT300ZX some day too...but you are right Greg, there is NO ROOM under that hood.

WhiteNSX, I love your avatar. Man that is a great pic and that car does look very nice in white! We have a red targa in the 'hood here...that looks good too. I prefer the older models w/ the pop up headlights. I would love to have an NSX some day as well!

Imre: No, why? Do you think I would want to exacerbate the pain?
Colin: I have a '69 Mach I. It doesn't even have an attachment point for a DMM, but thanks for the hot tip.
Steve: Ever taken one apart- not by design- and put it back together?
Herman: my problem are the mechanical fittings once the ring is off.
Imre: try to follow along
Greg: That is faint praise.
James: Wrong thread.

Once you come to the understanding that some things just have to be removed to gain access to some things, it is all just the amount of nuts and bolts from there.

It is just a matter of time and tools, no harder than anything else.

Greg/Grasshopper:
Glad you have never had a bad day of wrenching.

Mrmerlin

it could be worse,
you should try putting a clutch in a 951 and replacing the balance shaft seals

You are kidding right?
at 54 and after 41 years of this crap, yea I have a few.
Maybe I have been doing it for so long I no longer get angry at a thing, just myself.

I spent four hours yesterday to find a 911 was out of gas, top that one.

EDIT: I did have fuel flow out of the pump and it read 2/3 of a tank, it just did not have enough to run a CIS.
I hate the moral aspect of it, the customer had diagnosed the car, just told me to put a fuel pump in it that he supplied!! (first mistake) so do i charge him the time it took or just for R&R the pump and book rate of 2 hours for CIS diagnosis?

Or just say, man it was out of gas, you need a new sender. (which after turning upside down and cleaning now works)

Donald

Good for you, I'm done.

At least you get to write that off your taxes as a business expense!
