Idling in your garage for 3 days isn't good on a new engine either
Driving the new engine in a blizzard isn't a good thing either!

Very true! Today is a gorgeous day! But no driving will take place until this whole idle issue is squared away.

Ugh...first drive in the car, take it out on main street, and some purple eclipse decides it's his day to try and beat me...of course I did nothing, but he was getting on my nerves tailgaiting me and then he passes me like a race car...

Maiden voyage went very well. Have a clunking in the rear so I need to jack it up and check that everything is secure. Have a richness bucking, but that will go away once we get everything dialed in.

Now don't go get salt grime all over your new clean stuff. LOL
I would love to see your car in person. We need to go driving.

What are you doing this weekend? It'd be nice to take along someone familiar with 944s to help me listen for issues. I already have a clunk in the rear I need to diagnose. Pizza and beer on me! (Or other tasty food/beverage if those aren't to your liking)

Its pretty clear that anybody that gets involved in a highly modified 944 turbo project is ‘touched in the head’ to some extent……right John?

Hmmm….TITH Racing….I think I like it! Darwin and John can be the founding members!
