OK, great, then you will hit in the country road twisties. Regardless, the best street handling is in the factory range. Those numbers I gave you are at the low end. Your ride height may be further up in the range, so go ahead, but don't go crazy and slam it.

Looks very sharp. Hope you get the shifting and leak resolved and any remaining electrical and performance issues ironed out. You're doing very good to get this far without giving up on the car.

Nice!

I read somewhere that Porsche tweaked the color mix of Guards Red at some point. The early cars have more yellow in the mix.

Thanks Brad,
I just watched your video. Car sounds amazing. Is that an automatic or stick?

A big thanks to Dr. Bob for all his wiring experitise. Although not as pleasant as Bill lollll (he usually sounded as if he wanted to kill me over the phone for not knowing **** about wiring), he tolerated me and walked me through what needed to be diagnosed.

I also wanted to give a huge thank you to Rich Andrade for lending me his test LH module. Under no obligation to buy anything from him, he was happy to lend me his module, which I greatly appreciated.

These guys are true enthusiasts and are responsible for many of these legends coming back to life!

Up to and including 1981, the red was called "India Red" then in 1982 it changed to "Guards Red".
