Finally have it running after committing all my shop time to it since the PCA and NASA club racing ended early OCTOBER for me. So all my spare shop time has been dedicated to wiring it all up, making it all run and programming the HOLLEY Sniper EFI system. Started on the first crank. I'll be hopefully racing this car next spring at a road course near me!
That's a good, lumpy idle... I bet that just howls under load.

That is very cool, historically accurate, and of great automotive relevance. It is really neat that you have a pair of sequential 928s; my brother has a 928GT (91), and despite its quirks, he loves it. Very neat.

Yours is a 2005+ > with fixed rear suspension.

I went into the dealership in North Van one day after I completely destroyed the rear end links by flipping the rear away over on itself; there happened to be a 2005 sitting in the showroom, which had been 'fixed'.

Whining at the service manage (who thought I was out of my tree) because he wouldn't warranty my clearly broken rear suspension, despite bringing to his attention the fix on the 2005. I didn't help myself by pointing out that there was something wrong with cruise control as well..

He said, what was wrong...?

I said it did not appear to be working over 160kmh... At this point, silence befell the service department at North Shore Subaru, before he kindly asked me to leave the property and not come back...

Oh, that is so cool - is that an original? The drivers seat looks like it may have been upgraded.

Is it wearing slicks? That's neat, and should be quite entertaining.

I wanted a Grom for awhile.

You bet, medium compound slicks. The bike is an absolute riot on the karting tracks. 170 lb bike with 24 hp is a lot of fun. It's hard NOT to drag a knee on this thing haha

A friend had a CRF450 supermoto and I took it for a spin one day. It was really hard to keep the front wheel on the ground. That bike was a riot.

Sweet baby Jesus that's 160hp/liter!

Wow, that gives two strokes a serious run for the money.
