Hey folks...thought I would stop by and say hey. Hope all is well with you guys. How is everyone doing? No more major engine pops I hope.

Drive fast, take chances and keep the shiny side up.

Chad! Good to see you - hope all is well.

It's quiet around here... mainly because the server is slow and intermittent... sadly, the days of a rock solid rennlist appear to have passed.

 

Hi Chad!

Nice to read about you

 

Hi Chad! Yup, as Mac says, things have quieted down in 996 forum land.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

 

Chad... post some pics of the new (to you) racer.... BTW I sold the Iforged, went back to 18"...

 

When u coming back into the fold??

 

PICS!!! PICS!!! PICS!!!

 

Here's the status of the Track Toy this morning (Sunday). The red front fenders are presently at the paint shop getting prepped and painted for install. The great thing, the fenders are carbon fiber. The car is presently awaiting a suspension. I hoping to have that installed next weekend. The progress has slowed as the economy has effected my consulting biz. Once things pick back up, I'll move forward with the larger items. So far this is the following:

- Pull drivetrain and perform clutch R&R
- install suspension & bushings
- Weld in cage
- compression / leak down check on the engine
- If passes, new cam chain & tensioner, maintenance
- Install harnesses & remaining items

Worse case, the engine needs a rebuild. If that is the case, I will rebuild the motor completely, ground up. Or...install a 968 motor for more juice.

 

Looking good!

 

Hey Chad, nice pics, keep us up to date on the progress.

 

Chad - really like the way you cleaned up the interior. What paint did you end up using?

 

Thanks! I used about 4-5 cans of matching paint (Alpine White) from Paintscratch.com. It turned out perfect! Not gonna tell you how many hours I had scraping the goo.

I see you got a thing for white cars... looking sweet!

 

Just a bit.
