Thanks Joel...

K Guys. I am trying to finalize some stuff (new parts) on my end and before I get some of this stuff off the car, and listed for sale, wanted to see if anyone in here had any interest in the stuff that will be going up for sale to try to fund some of my adventures:

Factory doors with glass
Pass side door card savannah
Front Sebro rotors, I think 2 maybe 3 track days on them... plenty of life
Rear Calipers, DTC 60 pads and Sebro rotors use same as above
Front DTC60 Pads use same as above
Savannah Headliner / sunroof stuff
Rear glass
1/4 glass
Ohlins with Elephant top mounts for the front, swift springs and stock Ohlins springs (1.5G with NT01 )
Savannah dash
Theres prob some misc interior trim pieces too.

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you guys need any of the above.

Dang I’m tempted on those the Ohlins. Though I really enjoy my Feals, I wonder if I should have bought those instead. You ever drive a 996 with Feal coilovers? If so, are there any significant differences on street or track?

Cant speak to the Feal’s unfortunately. From what I have seen they get excellent reviews from people on here.

I’ve said it before but I think it bears repeating, the performance of the Ohlins blew my mind.

Zbomb - I love that you’re doing the project as a rolling ‘track rat’ lab. Living the dream baby! You give me hope that when the greater Nashville area gets a stretch of legal, go-fast road course pavement closer than NCM, I’ll be picking up what you’ve been laying down.

I miss the island but not most of the people there. Also the financial situation is a clusterfck. In 21 days I was there 4 protest or demonstrations. One weekend because “El estado libre asociado is broke” and They decided to cut some costs, they reduced the pension for the police officers. So one weekend the police decided to strike and there was no police from Friday at
6 pm till Monday at 4am. I love the fact that you can go to the beach all year round, my mom lives in mayaguez, so I go to rincón, el combate, boquerón, buye etc. maybe we that have money and resources should buy the island, kick the deplorables out and repopulate it with nice people. Then like farruko says it’ll be true “welcome to paradise”.

Many, Many hours later...

If anyone knows how to get the headliner off the sunroof - I would be forever grateful for info.

Tomorrow I learn how to use a spot weld cutter and go to town on some brackets that won't be needed where we're going.

Why do you need brakes when you are trying to fly?

Love the evil doctor chuckle, heh heh heh...

Can’t thank Aaron @theprf enough. He is a ninja with the spot weld cutter. Would not have accomplished the goals of the day without him and my schedule would be screwed. Thanks buddy big time.
