The only time I've visited Porsche Warwick was during the 70th anniversary event. Lots of eye candy that day...

I first have to make sure the original unmodified bumper would still fit if the receiver is mounted, otherwise I will just have to get over cutting into my "perfect" bumper.
@TexSquirrel you will want to add a way to hook the trailer safety chains. I struggled with that with the various “hidden hitches” out there.

@zbomb I prefer 200 treadwear tires. They pair nicely with my ohlins. Tried many and sometimes comes down to availability as I run 235/315. I am currently running on AZENIS RT660.

I’ve been wondering if a bumperette delete and relocating the tow hook to the European location would allow me to install the tow hook and connect chains there.

It's on the long list. Which means 1-2 years out, but it is on the list.

Out with the old and in with the new. What could possibly go wrong?


Last O2 sensor to remove, stripped threads.


4 new O2 sensors later...

Now the problem is how to quantify the improvement... without spending any money. My less that quantitative butt dyno is really happy.

Yes, this is one of those slippery slope decisions. But with how well this engine spins up, I wanted to see what would happen if I opened up the bottom end. I figured that I have the car in the air enough that this job every other year wouldn't be too terrible. It's also possible we'll be leaving the state in a year or two...

What brand were the previous cats? That's a funky location for the O2 sensor right on top of the cat element - haven't seen it before like that. Usually upstream and downstream locations are on either end of the actual cat element.
