Dropped off my mufflers at a local shop for a little Gundo/Fister loving.

Tint removed on the 1999 silver aero car. So much better. Tint with black interior is DARK!!

Tint removal of 1999 Glacier scheduled for Tuesday. That's going to be some kind of before and after transformation. I'll post pics of all later.

Different kinda garage entry. I've been bothered by my cam deviations being off 3 degrees since the rebuild. Tracked the issue down to my (knock off Amazon special) timing tool being clocked 1.5 degrees. So I fabricated one that's actually true through a combo of CNC machining and 3D printing. Figured I'd do the mufflers while I was at it.


Getting pretty proficient at this.

Knock off on the left. My version on the right.

Replaced my (killer) frunk lid gas struts. The last ones I got were from Pelican Parts and were supposed to be OE. I ordered the Porsche replacements from Auto Atlanta. Hope these last longer than six years. Before had to hold frunk lid up with one hand and load with the other hand. Now it takes two hands to just lower the frunk lid. Go figure......

Default Cars and coffee formula garage

Great outing today. Plenty of cars. Two brand new 2022 Porsches. Always a blast.


That’s it’s a local 40th anniversary in excellent shape.


That 2022 blue is sick. A 21 and a 22 speedsters 718 next to each other, I’ll take the blue one.



2022 Carrera some kind of green, less than 1000 miles with a sick soul exhaust. Guy already ordered suspension and wheels for the car. The local Porsche dealer only got 3 Carreras per 3 month period this year, lucky if you get one allocated to you.

2022 speedster with deviated stitching. Gorgeous car, too little for me.

Got to love ❤️ that behind!!!

Yeah. Quickjacks, a long reach low profile jack for the engine, a small scissor lift type jack from Harbor Freight for the transmission.
