Bought four 17" Turbo Twists with Bridgestone Potenza tires to kinda mix up the look a little... and, make it harder for my wife to curb my 18" RH wheels....

I confessed to the CEO - who drives a Turbo S - that I own a 928. He said 'those are great cars!'

Said some words out loud.... after noticing that one of the new cams is slightly different and does not fit because the thrust bearing shoulder is too short (and the other part is too wide)

Refurbished the bell house grounds while I was there (PITA). Prophylactically Changed out the fuel lines. Initially I had to replace a shot fuel dampener. Did so but... the new replacement had a threaded extension to be mounted on the bracket by nut. The old one had received a bolt to be mounted. I now have to rotate 90 degrees for the extension won't allow it to be tied into the short fuel rail. The vacuum fitting now is straight up. Spoke to Anaheim about this and was told, oh well. Res ipsa loquitur regarding future parts.

Installed a set of low mileage S4 coilovers in the rear.
Replaced motor and rewired PS mirror
Replaced 1979 gear shift **** with appropriate one (now to get it recovered by P. Champagne).

For the rear coilovers, Bill Ball's simple diagrammed photo was all I needed

Installed an a/c air bypass valve. The idle is now steady when the compressor comes on.

No more holding the idle revs up at stoplights.

1)Changed transmission filter, seals etc to sort out a leak.
2) Dynamat both doors, reduced road noise by about 80%, now need to the rear area.
