Challenge: can your Porsche (928+) oriented weekend beat mine??
Friday night: washed the '91 GT, took off rear tire cause of nail. fun.
Took off left rear strut for new coilover configuration.
Saturday am: washed 911 turbo.
Saturday am spin class, lunch.
Met friend at Lexus to buy a new car (successful)
Met PCA Racer friend at Boostlogic to work up EFI system for 944T race car
Set up in the office to sort & lap valves on race car head 1-4: set all 16v.
Ate dinner, walked dogs, went back out into garage (AC on) & swapped
coilovers on the '91 GT for a newer lower rear mount, removed the upper racing mount for a street setup. Finished about 10pm.
Sunday: met up for breakfast with a PCA buddy, went out to Legend Garage (Ben Genovese's establishment), did some bead blasting thanks to Ben's generosity. Ben has a plethora of 928 intakes hanging in various states of powdercoating: an incredible investment in shop/tools to offer his products: first class: good job Ben! Picked up my powdercoated intake parts for the 928 race car while I was there: oh yeah, I need that.
Sunday worked on 944T race car, removed old windshield, hood, bled brakes, installed 11" front wheels & spacers.
Ate late lunch with a few racers, went over to West Dillard's house & played MAF conversion with him for a bit.
Sunday afternoon: returned to my AC'd garage, lowered race car from lift.
Sunday installed new Speedhut Fuel level gauge in my carbon fiber dash console: hard to do while vacuuming at the same time. :/
Sunday: got under car, adjusted & re-mounted my Aeromotive Fuel filter & adjusted my -8an fuel supply line to the filter.
Placed 911 on lift & prepared for exhaust removal.
Put up tools, crashed about 11pm.
Monday am: took off 911 turbo's exhaust, resealed, re-installed.
Took 911 Turbo turbo-back exhaust across town to get wide-band O2 bung welded. GT drove great with new coilovers on it. Now it's turbo-time.
Reinstalled 911 exhaust.
Worked on some suspension parts for a customer, cleaned up the office.
Back into office: sorted & lapped valves for race head 5-8, took head to
washer, cleaned, washed turbo 928, got a few lookers from a Cobra replica group, raced & beat (bad) a new E63 AMG.
Finished painting suspension parts.
Took 911 for a test spin to ensure exhaust is fully sealed: success.
Ate quick dinner, put up tools, sat down to watch the Monaco Grand Prix in 45m, off to bed.
I love getting a lot done on weekends. Could have used more down-time but still did what I wanted to do.

did a 40-70 run in a 45mph zone, so couldn't stay in it, but walked him pretty hard in 2nd/3rd gear: probably 2-3 car lengths during that short duration. I waited until he got on it too but the car spooled quick enough that he didn't gain any more than 1/2 car length on me before I pulled on him.
