Happy Monday
My GF completed her first autocross yesterday. She did very well. Her first time was a 133 seconds and finished the day with 6 runs and the last three times were in the 93-94 second range. A huge improvement! We were driving at an abandoned airport (Fort Devens MA).
The club posted pictures on the website and we are in several. Sorry, I wasn't able to embed them. I tried.

That's me in the red jacket, GF in Red Sox hoodie.

Did I forget to mention that it was cold? Brrr....
Our next auto-x is June 4th. She's looking forward to it.
What did you do over the weekend?

It was rainy and busy; none of the weekend included a thought about the Porsche, except when I moved it to let someone borrow my rototiller.
Prom photos for friends' daughter, and a model shoot for a plus size girl.

Probably one of the busiest weekends on the 964 so far:
1. Installed RS motor mounts
2. Fine tuned the bump on the KW suspension
3. Swapped the locknuts on the front sway bars/droplinks
4. Re-fitted orange turn signal lenses - I originally only needed to change a blown bulb but the crappy quality aftermarket clear lenses fell apart when I removed one
5. Worked on fixing the leak into my luggage compartment - removed old seal, worked for hours on cleaning away old glue, put in new seal and made adjustments to the bonnet hinges to ensure a good fit. (still need to check on the result).
6. Went for a test drive

Darrell, did you take the WB thinking others wouldn't be able to pass you? 
Yes Rob, great pictures.... Almost makes me wish I got a coupe instead of a cab..... almost.
only P-car activity was putting the passenger seat back in and taking it out for date night. Went the long way, 7 extra miles of bliss. The wife doesn't even question it anymore. Had a little scare though, thought the hood was covered in stone chips, turned out to be tree sap... phew. Took a good look under the engine for leaks after the chain cover gasket and PS pump seal were replaced. Bone dry

Monday...lets see...still Porscheless after 3 weeks in the shop for a rebuild. Called today & the fellas at Performance Auto have the motor out & all parts are in & machined. Damn, seen more P cars on the road with the nice weather or maybe I just notice them more now....since I'm stuck in this Toyota.
Kind of like having a car on order....the wait is killin' me.

Rob,
That is AWESOME! I am so glad she had a good time. PCA stuff is so much more fun when your better half is into it as well. It was good seeing you both down there. - Jay

Alan, I feel your pain. The weather has been ok on a few days that I'd have loved to take the car out. I got my bolts last night. Now I just need a few hrs to put it all back together!
