Default Aircooled fun at the track

Great to see a few 993s (and 964) on the track not caring about values or much faster corvettes/GT3s. Such a fun car to drive. All cars are fairly stock with safety equipment, R-comps and better brake pads.

Nice vids! Is it me or does it look like your car's Engine Temperature is a little high?

You might be looking at oil pressure. Temp (top needle) is actually on the low side (with second oil cooler in cooler weather).

I was looking at the digital gauge in your VID#1 far right next to the Gas Gauge.

That was second best upgrade (after seats). It sits closer to me and slightly smaller than stock.

Then it's definitely high. You should add a little coolant.....and some blinker fluid.

Nice vid. Good job.

I think this is my next MOD. I hate the OEM Steering wheel with a passion! Any issues with disabling the Air Bag light?

Awesome! Was this in NJ in Nov? Any special tips or treatment for the tires? Must have been chilly, no?

Love it. Great driving. Also, check those muffler bearings while you're in there checking the blinker fluid.

I also took my other 993 to the track yesterday. Not as much fun as the real thing, but at least I'm "representing" with a proper car number.

Nope the kit comes with a resistor. Make sure to unplug the battery and and let it sit for 15-20min. I was able to do wheel swap while at the track in like 20min.
Horn requires some additional wiring.
