Also:
Greg Brown's new clutch line is nice equipment and allows very clean routing and connections. It may also be the only place on a 928 that uses a 14mm nut.
The compact starter is a very precise fit, even with the pre-machined edges that Greg did. I suspect that if I had gone with a silicone gasket, the added ~1mm might have made the fit too tight.

Latest Blackstone report. Oil drain from the same time as adding the pan spacer/windage/pick-up

So glad this car went to a good home. Wish Jon had been able to keep it, but that boy changes cars about as often as he changes underwear! LOL! I think he has had at least 4 other cars since he sold that one to you Ken! Crazy boy...trying to keep up with his old man but does not have the space to keep them so he just keeps swapping them out! LMAO! If he comes back to TX and drive SUPER BLU I know what his next car will be... It will be an S4 with a Stage 2 S/C set up from Victor! LOL!

Funny man! I think it's three actually. The Z06 that replaced the 928. That was then dumped along with the wife's GTI for her new Golf R. Then I bought a really cheap WRX Wagon a friend needed out of. That's where I'm at right now. I've got the WRX, the Golf R, and the Lightning.

Which one is Super Blue? I can't keep track of your cars anymore! The supercharged and wrapped GTS? But then where would I put a 996TT?

I hadn't posted a good pic of the compact starter and Greg's clutch line:

I would be very remiss if I did not point out that most of the other bits and pieces were supplied by Roger, some on a very rushed over night express time table.

Intakes, oil filler, and water inlet look great in person too. Great choice in finish!

Mrmerlin

those parts look great, nice contrast with the Mossgruen

Thanks for the kind words Stephen and Stan!

I replaced the turn signal/cruise control switch & stalks. The old one was starting not to cancel after left turns. This had the dual effect of making me look like an old fogey driving with my turn signal on and also leaving the left parking lights on when I made a left turn into a parking spot and turned the car off. The high beam switch was also a bit unreliable and the text on the stalks themselves was getting worn.
