That is Slick with a capital "S"!!!


All info and more photos here: Mid-raise lift

Delivered to my home in Orlando, FL - US$1,400.00 + 98.05 to have the truck that came home with a lift... 1200lbs delivery weight... If you have the ceiling height I would recommend a two post asy lift... only a couple of hundreds more and soooooo much better (nothing in between or under the car which makes it even better to work under our cars).

Okay, got the rocker panels repainted and the sill trim changed and all put back together -- fuel filler neck is next.

That is great Marc!

I have all the parts... hoping to get something done this weekend. I want to change the RSB in the R32 first and then tackel the fuel filler neck and the front brakes in the 964.

oh... let me update the list, I got the silver Carrera logos for the sides I will need to fix the side sills trim before putting those graphics on.

I added the cat bypass to the list and the stabilizer links... Also posted a photo from Patrick L. rebuild where I found a photo of the valve covers (so you can see the corrosion that is similar to what mine looks like...)



Stabilizer links that need replacement...

So, are you going to try to chip the old O2 sensor off or just spring for a new one?

Oh yeah, approx. what is the weight saving?

Thanks......Marc

I'm thinking my next project should be figuring out how to get one of you "real" project guys down to NY to help out on my car!

I just don't know how you guys do it.

Firstly, I haven't the knowledge, though this site goes a long way toward solving that problem.

Secondly, I haven't the time. I guess a couple of small children and a "traveling" job don't help.

I do envy you all getting so much work done on your cars. It's not like I need much done, but there are things I'd like to do.

All in good time, I suppose

Cheers,
Dave

Same here - any larger project that has been done has put my car off the road for a week or two -- trying to get an hour or so in the evenings or weekends to get things finished....once I have done all the jobs my wife has lined up for me.

One small child (age 2) and a job with long hours means the car jobs, while a great way to relax, are ranked below spending time with the family.
