Have to buy tires, install tires and rear toe arms, align and corner balance, pick up safety odds and ends, install seats and roll bar, install joe toth splitter, install mesh grill, trans flush, brake flush.

Have a lot on my plate.

:) Same here (except I had a head start on the seats and bar).

At least you've got to touch yours tho, something I have yet to do. All I've seen are crappy pics of it in various stages of disassembly, lol.... Hope to have it eastbound by months end assuming Guard is not overly backed up...

Glad to see the clutch kit works as advertised! One less thing to stress over..

Susp will be next up, but other than rear toe links, I am going to wait until I have some set time in before deciding on whats to be done,...

or until JohnPG totally embarrasses me and forces my hand, lol :thumbup:

I'm scheduling all my track time on days John can't make it. ;)

^good idea! Share the schedule when you can..

Otherwise, he does have that rear tow hook, and I have a boat anchor.....

did you buy a car from another RL'er?

cello 04-03-2013 03:30 PM

^ Yes and no, lol. The owner is an enthusiast for sure with several Porsches, races, etc, but not much of a Forum guy apparently (he may be or have been a member but is not active). But his Mechanic is a RL Member and thats how I found it...

CJ and Pat, from my humble experience outside of the saftey mods, the best upgrade has been the suspension if you are going to primarily track the car. Going from the stock springs to a higher rate, I did 700 front & 900 rear and getting rid of the rubber really wakes up the car. It doesn't have to be crazy expensive the stock shocks can be revalved for the higher springs. Bilstien will do it for about 200.00 per corner from what I understand.

I just like to put smiles on faces :cheers:

I'll keep that in mind for next year. I've been meaning to try out swift springs.

Thx John. When I am ready I will be in touch to discuss how you've set it up.

I looked into the re-valve but Bilstein is backed up a bit and I cant make it work. Cant get any good info from DJ's shop (HDG) either despite emails to and from (..as i think they are jammed now that the race season is here, etc..).

BTW, whos your shop if you dont mind letting me know (PM if you'd rather)...
