Some more photos of the IMS solution going in today… maybe Mr. Raby will shed a tear at this sight seeing his baby going in.

more to come.

Nice! Were you able to grab any photos from the bore scope? I believe that's one of the qualifications that needs to be done prior to install. That's a nice data point to have for records at a particular mileage.

I haven't received anything for him on this except he said no evidence of bore scoring existed currently at all.. I figure he has nothing to lose so he would be as candid as possible.

I have a new in-box GMG adjustable sway bar, and some GT3 adjustable control arms, RSS toe arms for front and rear that I am likely not going to be using. It's possible I will also be listing my tequipment roll bar and GT3 buckets.

Let me know if any of that interests you.

well I just got back from vacation and picked up the car from Ohara Automotive in AR and I’m going to made the 5.5 hour trek home.

car runs and drives great with the exception of a weird noise at idle ( sounds like something tapping intermittently on the firewall). Paul, the owner and I are trying to figure out what it is. He had me drop it off at a local shop to me to see if the fix is something simple. If it’s not he will come trailer it back to his shop to fix but neither of us are too worries considering how well it drives and sounds..

well i figured out the noise as the UAOS hose routing was causing the noise.. You can see from the photo above that the corrugated hose ( think brake booster hose) is suppose to be on top so after swapping them the noise is gone.. Thanks to Skip @Porschetech3 for the quick tutorial oh how to swap them.. easy 2 min job.

Car runs great and I'm going to update the first post to item completed..

So I went back with the OEM tail lights instead of the depo that came with the car. Not sure why but I think they fit the car well. Also ordered oem euro clear side markers and oem third brake light to replace the LED clear ones that came with the car..

Yeah OEM look much better. LED ones just scream aftermarket too much to me.

After all the maintenance done, it sure was fun to get out and do some spirited drive this morning…
