Default Good news - Bad news

The good news is my X73 arrived today. The bad news is that Mrs. SSST is hosting a Charity neighborhood garage sale this weekend so I won't be able to install it.

I told her I would write a check for $5000 if she would take it all to Salvation Army. My proposal was rejected, by the Real Housewives of Clear Lake.

Her eyes glaze over when I start talking Porsche. Kind of like mine glaze over when she starts talking.

Hope your dear wife doesn't accidently sell the X73 to one of those Real Housewives of Clear Lake (or to a husband that got dragged along...).

Sincerely,

Drive on up to Dallas, write me a check for $5k, and I'll install it in my garage. :-)

Michael.

Tongue in cheek. The local Indy will do it for 500 but I want to do it myself. Maybe next weekend.

I hid it under my dirty underwear. None of them will go near that.

Got the motor mounts installed this afternoon. Still don't have room to swap out the suspension with all the left over garage sale stuff taking up one bay and the workshop in the garage.

We have a trip planned next weekend, so hopefully labor day weekend.

On edit: holy moly! What a difference a couple of motor mounts can make. After gettimg cleaned up, i went for a test spin.

I was expecting more noise an vibration with the stiffer mounts. This is an okay tradeoff for crisping shifting and better handling.

What I got was crisper shifting, improved cornering, less noise, and less vibration. ...and that's without the actual suspension bits on the car.

Can't wait to get the rest of this done.
