Will be installing the Jager LED gauge illumination kit along with some LED switch bulbs and fix the tach while in there. A/C was working fine, so will have Dins have a look to see what's up with that. Thinking about moving the single din JVC/IPod head unit up to the stock location. Just ordered a shifter boot and that should just about do it for now. T
Good tweaks, T!

I posted this pic to my FB page, with your wife's cape honeysuckles because it is just so nice!

This is not what Porsche envisoned for this car. I realize this will not be well received but it's just my opinion./QUOTE]

You mean an alloy V8 and rear mounted transaxle?

No offense To you Chalkboss, i'm a fan of your posts

Yeah, I wasn't going to contribute anymore to the rants and raves, but when the troll was machine gun posting, I was thinking:

It's an amazing GT with an alloy V-8 up front, torque tube and rear mounted transaxle.
It's a gorgeous 2+2 hatchback with funky headlights and goofy upholstery (or is it goofy headlights and funky upholstery?).

But others may have different opinions, and they are certainly entitled to them. I can disagree without needing to make a bazillion posts refuting each and every disagreement.

Guys. All I meant was a Chevy up front. Relax. I love this car. I was not the one to blow this thread up. I have never believed in engine transplants and never will. Simple as that for me.

Chalkboss/Don I keep looking at your Avatar and for the life of me can not figure out what it is. Please enlighten me before I go nuts.

Haha. It's the wheel air guns for F1 team McLaren. I was at Monza the last two years. I like the perfection and cleanliness of their garages and equipment.

At a vintage event with a lot of F1 cars, the torque wrench for the single lugs was impressive. It was about 4' long and when it "clicked" and you were standing close to the car, you felt it through the asphalt.

I should have asked what the torque spec was.
