All kidding aside, I really think if you Green Bay boys put your mind to it you could build a car in the time that is left, just not sure about that one.

It is past toast, reminds me of a Pizza I left on the BGE at 950 degrees for a few minutes.

my list has grown since my first post in this thread....

wp/tb?cam gears were added, and while i am there, MM OPG are getting done.

I have the X pipe to install and the wideband o2 for some future sharktuning......
X pipe is here but wideband is not...

i also found play in passenger wheel bearing so that will be replaced next week...

I doubt i will have the hatch repainted by then, but oh well.....

Haha my list is longer too. Putting in the clutch slave and master. Yes this is as much of a pain that everyone says.

Then I need to bolt up my motor mounts and off we go.

With no AC - pretty much a given, the wife's car ate that cash up with a 13year old radiator failure.

Well, I had to replace a steering boot, that turned into a tie rod. But finally buttoned that up and was driving to work today (need to settle suspension for an alignment), and the window fell into the door. But besides that, I think I am down to an oil change and hit the road. At least I hope that is what's left...

Smooth all the way up to the rev limiter.
Glad to see that worked out for someone besides me!

Well, my timing belt is done, some fuel lines installed, some replated parts installed.
Got what I think is the rest of the parts for a customers 928, one should go out Monday, then the GT should be getting pretty much done on the engine early next week.

Few other issues to deal with on it, but it looks good right now.

I still have to install the wideband on mine, do the rest of the fuel hoses, and the Carputer install, plus sharktune.

So I have a really full couple of weeks.

Have you got a link to your thread on the problem?
Maybe some one can help.
