They do look an awesome lineup. Probably a good thing there was only one Boitler made. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue!!
Lucky about the rock too. That would have taken some explaining.

That is exactly what happened.If you listen closely,you really cant hear the exhaust on the 944 turbo.I mean it is by no means loud.Our customer with the Scion and his fart can is like retardely loud and obnoxious.But we help him withhis car since he is in a wheel chair and cant do some of the work on his own car

Come on down! We can break in the new palapa bar. But be warned... the palapa bar already has a reputation with amongst the neighbors.

Are you talking this Sunday as in Easter through Tuesday, or the next Sunday through Tuesday?

And sure... you can take the 948 and give it the once-over. But it's got no trans in it right now. I'm picking the the transmission tomorrow morning. It's getting a Guard GT LSD installed. I'll be installing the transmission on Mondayand will be around all week/weekend long.

Tony,

I'm leaving Easter Sunday and will be in LA that evening. I'll give you a call to figure out a time to hook up. I'll be there with my family doing the Disney thing with the kids. Dicicco is in Phoenix the week I'm in LA. I was hoping we could get a chance to see/drive the new 3.0 motor that he put in the blue 951 he bought from me.

It does. We are working on getting everything setup and adjusted properly. Everything on this motor is new and this was one of the first running vids. Also, sometimes a video camera will pick up certain sounds and amp them during playback.

Thanks, I think. I don't live in porno movie, but Tim lives in porno land. The flywheel is lightened stock with a clutch masters PP and a full ceramic disc. The crank was bullnosed and balanced. Tim had trouble getting it moving because he can't drive very well.

The clutch is a non sprung hub so it is a chattery son of a bitch.The plenum is not flexing.There are braces inside the plenum to prevent flexing.The light is reflecting off of the plenum which gives it the appearance of flexing.It wont crack and I will put my rep on that
