PCA had a lunch at Helgas German cafe, took some pics...

2013 vs 1995




This fine 911 just hit 700,000 miles, engine rebuilt at 500,000

Congratulations. That's a very nice looking car.

So I need to work out the analog roll before the 9s come up, as I buggered the 8s this morning...



and I need to pull the F over and take an IN focus pic...

I have been running front 5 / rear 4 on my PSS10s and 5/4 is the best setting for my car on my C2 with 18s. Front end and rear end move together as one car. I don't know if all PSS10s are made so close to spec that a 5 is an absolute setting or they are just relative to that shock and car, but I have tried:

3/5
4/5
5/5
5/6
6/6
4/6
2/3
and now
5/4

each click, each number makes a difference.

So tired of my 1995 generation 4 spoke steering wheel, honking on bad roads with pot holes or expansion joints... so I found a 996 GT2 leather wheel/airbag on ebay and purchased.

Getting the 4 spoke bag off with its deep Torx 27 screws out was the hardest part...

1) remove the ground off battery
2) wait 15-30 min
3) torx 27 to remover bag
4) unplug bag
5) unplug both horn leads
6) remove 24mm nut
7) remove 4 spoke wheel
8) install 3 spoke wheel
9) add horn leads
10) plug in bag
11) tighten Torx 30 bolts (different than 4 spoke bag)
12) reattach ground on battery

easy

My 996 SW was probably my favorite mod I did to my car so far. It feels so much better then the stock 4 spoke.

RocketJohn

I agree, Piranha! much better combo for a sports car... I'm so glad the electrical leads and connectors are plug and play... that was very nice!

First of all, UPS dropped my jack stands off from the group buy... Very cool tools...



Got out of work early today and decided to rally up Mt. Evans as I chased the VW/Audi test drive team, testing an A1 and a Q3 and some other models we already get in the USA.

I did my best to catch the A1 through Squaw Pass at double the speed limits in the rain. White knuckled it and didn't let him leave my sight... he had 120hp... jeez I suck at driving!

Here's some pics at Echo Lake and up at the top. The Germans were full of smiles and felt more at home with a 993 in range. Good bunch of guys.

Video I shot going up from 10,600 to 14,200 at Mt. Evans.

RocketJohn

I reduced the length of the video from over 30 min to 4 min by increasing speed to 8X. It kind of makes it more obvious how fast I was going when I get up to traffic that's doing the speed limit... whoops.

8X no music, sounds like an RC car or slotcar almost:


8X with some fun music:
