That's great Skip! And such a simple mod to install, unless you include the AOS on a .2 Tip

We've been so busy this year, Jake has had to either record using someone else or attempts to do it solo. Many of his "flat 6 minute" videos have been shot with his iPhone.
I'm happy to discuss doing an UAOS instructional video, but I guess we'd need to team up with Jake to make it happen at his shop?
Again, thank you guys for the vote of confidence.

I saw the UAOS on the R40 engine in the video and asked if they would put on on the engine they are building for my car right now. It was already on their list of upgrades! A few extra dollars for labor, but it will save me the busted knuckles a year from now. With the new engine and this UAOS I'm looking forward to the next 20 years of trouble free stupid grinning!
Thanks for all your hard work!

Thank you all for the Congratulatory comments, it really means a lot to me.You don't know how much. The last 15 months have been tough but also fun for me, and the work is probably just beginning, and yes hatchetf15, I enjoyed the retirement while it lasted...I thought of the things I wanted to say in response ,and it seems endless at the amount and would go on for pages, but as I was thinking of the things to say, words just couldn't convey the feelings, and I didn't want to bore anyone with all that , I just want to say THANKS !!!!

Looking for someone to clean up this image and maybe enhance it a bit for visual graphics. Thinking of a black and white version, with the end goal I want is a clear vinyl sticker with a Hologram effect so that the whole image can be seen at a particular angle, then at other angles either the Silhouette, the Wrench, or UAOS can shows up separately as sort of a "Ghosting Hologram". Hoping someone here has experience with this sort of stuff, opinions also welcome.
I bet all your friends and co-workers thought you were going to relax and sip Mai Tais on the beach somewhere.
Instead you've created a new product that is so popular it's keeping you busy enough that you need to put someone else to work.
That's just AWESOME!

I still feel semi-retired ( hope that lasts) and have put two someone elses to work..lol I get my share of Mai Tais just not on the beach...I just have more time to be creative by not having to keep everyone's cars on the road and maintenance caught up..There will always be plenty of work in the Auto Repair Industry simply because it is more fun to drive them than to fix/maintain them....
But I plan to do more driving and creative things, and in a semi-retired management capacity, than all the "grunt work" when you're just earning a living and supporting a family...( all my kids are grown). My oldest just turned 40, is a family man with a good job at the County, and just Won his second SECCA race of the season. Two in a row, he is on a winning streak !! A WIN at Bonita Lakes Meridian MS. Two in a row !! UAOS Black/silver
i'll give it a shot tomorrow (have a bit of work stacked up)
Thanks man, I had these 16G USB drives made with UAOS Logo, they were extremely fast (just ordered friday) and high quality, but I think the Logo can be a lot better.
So it looks like Porschetech3's discretionary income is going to go up. I've got a money making idea. Question: what is the most common advice to someone's post about just about any engine problem except leaking oil or coolant? Once someone posts the correct answer, I'll share my idea. If you haven't guessed yet, this is tongue-in-cheek. If it was a real idea I wouldn't tell you.

Probably, did you do a search for it, what's the code, or RTFM.
I see all the time "I just replaced all my coil packs" or "replace your coil packs". Later posts and the problem is still there. I had a E320 that had twelve coil packs. Bought at 100k miles with what I assume were original coil packs. Sold with 250k miles and had replaced one coil pack. I'm guessing there are thousands of perfectly good coil packs in landfills throughout the country.
So my idea is I'll buy your discarded coil packs for $5 a pop and pay for shipping. I'll test them and sell them with a life time guarantee for half of the price of new. This idea sounds more reasonable as I type. Send me a bucket of car care products and the idea is yours.
Part of my reasoning for changing them all was establishing my own baseline. These were the original 996 type. Limited service records and I’d like to know where I’m at. Was there a giant leap in performance, no, but I know where I’m at with maintenance items. Are tons of likely still good parts tossed in the landfill, likely, but I’d rather know where I’m at.

Maybe some would bite, but it's like saving money with SuperTech oil, unmarked IMS bearings off of Ebay, and cheap tires. It's penny wise and pound foolish.
BTW, I actually looked this up the fun of it, and for a C2 there are 205/50R17 SuperMax tires for $48.87 per tire at Walmart; would have to go Achilles ATR Sport 255/40R17 at $73.99 each for the rear, but whatever, we're saving money here! A set of FOUR tires for $245!!]
