I will be spending Saturday pre-checking my 964. It goes for its track safety inspection on Monday. I'm will be driving at a PCA DE event at Watkins Glen in two weeks. The car should be in good shape. It has fresh tires, brake pads, fluids but I will give it a once over just in case. Once that's done, I need to paint my basement bulkhead. Last weekend I noticed that it has some surface rust on it. I want to catch it before it gets bad. I picked up a quart of oil-based enamel last night.

I hope to get my bicycle out for the first time this season, if I have time.

What is everyone else planning? Anything interesting?

Rob, thx for starting...

if weather cooperates, I'll be in Glenview IL for supercarsaturdays.com event. If it doesn't cooperate, I just washed the Porsche for kicks, and have half a day to now spend with family. If I do go, my 18yr old son is going with. He likes to go see the exotics. He's kind of taking an interest in photography, so I let him use my backup camera.

Got a b-day party Saturday night, then not much on Sunday. The grass needs to be cut badly- too much rain this week.

It is amazing how time goes by so fast. I was updating my 964 project thread and noticed that the new carpet set for the 964 has been sitting in the garage for 2 years... and that the carbon fiber heater bypass I got from Joey was been in the garage for almost a year...

I just placed the order with Pelican for the WEVO mounts and the Rennline Engine Carrier Reinforcement Gusset Kit.

This weekend I plan to at least install the heater bypass and re route the oxygen sensor wire similar to what Marc did with his. Some time will go to the interior of the FIAT. And some time helping a friend with this truck.

Edit... and looks like I need to also cut the grass... a lot of rain here as well in the last few days...

Tomorrow I will compete in our local Porsche Cup (Time trial events divided by categories) in a circuit 200 kms from Buenos Aires, so I expect to have lot´s of fun and lunch some bbq meat with my friends of the Porsche Club

I am installing them, I am installing them

Car is all polished up for a Show'n'Shine Saturday.

I don't envy the concours crowd, a few swipes with an ArmourAll wipe and I'm bored - I'd rather be driving.

I'll get some brake measurements and pictures for you Sunday, Jaimie and let me know if you need any help wiring the oxygen sensor - I'd be happy to fly down.

Weird. Same on both counts, here.
Gusset came in this week.
(You'll like it. Nice quality and attention to detail. There's even a crack-stopper hole drilled at a 90-degree juncture. Arranging for the welding - and dis-'arming' the mount - the only bumps in the road.)
Also, an RS fan hub came in this week with the same shipment...

But mowing comes first Saturday morning - before it gets too damned hot.

I'm sure if I look at my mounts, they will need to be replaced, so I'm not going to look

Wachuko

Well... car is stuck in second gear... I hope is due to the engine mounts... what do you all think? Bad? Good thing wevo's are on their way...

hawk911

easy test--- jack up the engine a bit and see if the trans moves out of 2nd, no?

Wachuko

That was the first thing I tried... but the engine mounts are so bad that they would not go back in, they get caught in the border/lip and the whole car goes up...

Nicely parked in the drive way until the mounts get here...

hmmm; sux. GL with the install.
