Spent 8hrs last Sat and a few hours today. Clay bar, light paint correction polish, glass coat with 22PLE VX pro signature glass coat, all rubber and plastic treated, leather cleaned and conditioned. Man...I need full body massage for my aching muscles.

csmab,
After such a great job, I think you owe it to yourself; a full body massage
(NHE). No Happy Ending... ; )

They look terrific Jim! ...But as we all know, the job is not done until the paperwork is finished; so where's the stickers?

After an engine and clutch rebuild, I got out for a first break in drive. My mechanic guesstimates I gained 25 hp.

Enjoyed a 110mile drive.

Wow, that's a big pony increase for 993!
What all did you do to bump the horsepower?

I now have 272hp. Before the rebuild my engine was so gunked up that I had likely lost hp. I am not boosted above stock.

Those keys are not in the same order as the cars. This is bound to cause confusion.

I took a picture today, wiped down the interior and lubricated door hinges.

Default Set smog readiness codes

I'm due for a smog test this summer so the last few outings have been the "drive cycle" to get the readiness codes set and today I was successful. Now I just have to keep the battery charged until the notice comes in the mail.

How has this been a problem since battery tenders have been on the market?
