I don't have any immediate plans for the suspension, but I did notice recently that one of the front shock boots had "perished". It seems to drive pretty well as is with ~72,000 miles on it. I plan to Autocross it a time or two and see how it does.

I'm down in the Tri-Cities, but I've joined the PNWR of the PCA. I do hope to participate in some of the activities.

I thought it was a great drive, not having spent much time east of the Rockies. And thanks for mentioning the typo. I do have occasional bouts of letter-switching.

Oh, that's a bit of a drive. Our next Auto-X is 4/17 in Bremerton, it's about 20mi on the Peninsula from Tacoma. The S3 class (stock 993, 964, Boxter) is a BIG tough class, it would be great to see another 993 out there. At times we have about 20 cars in out class.
