Spent the morning finishing up the work from this week and had a little help for NC928S4 (Larry) who hasn't been by the WZ yet...

New Fuel Filter
New Fuel Pump
Replaced broken in-tank pump with strainer
Replaced "holed" oil cooler with new
Changed oil and filter
Replaced all fuel lines

Called it a day.

I'll be there next week!

Stephen

HECK YEAH!!! Get your car to the track and mix it up with the coffee crew.

Unfortunately, I have already filled my affirmative action 928 quota for the year so no way for me to sit right seat

As much as it always pains me to say it, Scott and Dell are correct: Get it to the track.

Otherwise, how many times will you be able to drive it where it really loves to be, well into triple digits?

One good track event and you'll have more time at 100+ than years of sneaking around NC highways, and a huge grin that you can't get rid of as a bonus!

Thanks for all the "encouragement"!

Car has a small coolant leak which I diagnosed last night (loose clamp of all things) and otherwise appears to be running really strong.

Giving some thought to track days...
