Cograts Kevin, on taking the time to do it right. You now own one of the best cars on the road, bar none. How is that close-ratio gearbox? Dang... that's great. Time for some new pictures!

Todd is great to work with as well as reasonable, not to mention he does know his stuff. My car would not register on OBDII. Sent my ecu to him, works fine now. Quick turnaround, good work.

I stopped at 180 cause the road was getting short...
the new gear box makes this thing snap your neck in any gear.... shifts silky smooth too...
traction is still a problem in 1st, 2nd, and third gear....
I drove this thing for a week with the front drive shaft disconnected just to figure out if I wanted a rear wheel dive only car... this car is not remotely safe in two wheel drive mode! I made a medium pass on a two lane road, the boost jumped up in the front seat with me, and the rear end decided it would mambo out to the left a bit... well... when your stairing directly at the 18 wheelers front tire for a few quick blips of you heart.... you realize that 4 is better than two... I pulled out my "what would RUFUS do" hand guide, and was able to quickly glean a few words of wisdom before it was too late.... seems lots of left lock to the steering and staying in the throttle can save you a@@ on a back country road.... thanks RUFUS!!!!
I also never was able to get a "sling shot" 20mph-60mph in two wheel mode, but the all wheel mode is like blasting off in a space schuttle....
more to come.... still working my life away so I can dump it all into cheep women and expensive cars!

Kevin,
I think you should start a new thread in the 993 forum (if you don't mind a few slow-pokes in your midst) asking for folks in your location that want to take a cruise someplace. I'm tempted to drive down just to meet you and see your fabulous car. I guess we'll have to plan a meeting in Dallas!
