Default Repairs and changes you have to do before SITM 2011.

What is on your list?
And what are the chances they will get done on a percentage scale.

Here is my short list.

Rebuild my G28/10 2:73 LSD trans 25% chance of it getting done.

Install sharkwoofer 95% chance of it getting done.

Install carputer
Install new window switches
install Innovate wideband O2 sensor
Install Sharktuner
this is for the four above, maybe a 20% chance of it getting done, I really hope to have a working Carputer, Hans is trying to work himself to death in getting it all done.

Install new LH unit.
That one is getting done, 100%

Remove hood and front bumper cover for a repaint. 10%

Timing belt replacement. 100% chance

Install shocks and springs
alignment.
This depends on if I can get the parts.

Have new rear tires put on, got to be done soon, so this will happen.

Tighten up right reaar view mirror, maybe a 20% chance.

Have flywheel and clutch balanced, this one should be getting done tomorrow.

Plus, I have three 928's that have to also get finished very soon, big jobs on all three. 100% on these.

Front wheel bearings and fuel injectors if I'm driving the '88. If I make another purchase between now and then, anything is possible.

Amen my friend. We were just sitting here talking about SITM, trying to convince more of the Tx crew to come. A few that have been regulars have kinda said 'meh' to coming. Working it though.

We were also trying to figure out who's going to get the worst gas mileage.

- Check TB tension (regardless of mileage since install) - 100%
- Replace windshield seals and clips - 40%
- Replace door check straps, door lock cyl seals, retint door windows - 30%
- Clean wheel wells - 25%

Got to get all the low percentage stuff done by the end of July for Porsche Parade though. No idea if I even have a chance in the preservation class... gotta get the stock wheels back on for it though - they're at a wheel shop now getting curb rash repaired/refinished. Not sure what I was thinkin' signing up for the councours.

If Sterling is not going, then there will not be a clear standout.
Your car and Rogers will be to well tuned to take that prize, unless you are the only two going.
