Exactly, that's what confused me. It smells just like that. At least I can now enjoy the aroma, LOL

pancing

Ah yeah youll smell it in the cabin... For days...

So lets see. Leaky Rams, an engine compartment latch that won't open and the smell. What else?

pancing

Eh leaky rams... I replaced mine two years if they last 5 years without leaking ill be happy.

I'm waiting for the 3'' Erams to come back in stock. Screw the leaks.

[QUOTE=techweenie;16599224]Took it out for a cruise up the coast and up Kanan Dume. Top down. Though PCH was pretty crowded.../QUOTE]

my old stomping grounds. now out of malibu and the canyon, i don't miss pch at all. though the 10 miles btw mulholland hwy/encinal canyon to pch will always be a favorite run.

but i hit the N 33 again this am. it's actually a better road and less traffic ( weekdays ).

Started it in preparation for the work to begin tomorrow.

Still runs poorly.

Mezger Man

Maybe its not a real Porsche K9turbo.

Mezger Man

You know i was joking, right?

Gave the car a proper shakedown of the year. I had forgotten how sublime the steering was and how much power it has...encouraged me to do the following:

-Reinstalled the exhaust tips-Disconnected the microswitches from the rear wing
-Washes and waxed it

Getting ready to repaint the calipers in proper red, and the wheels back to silver.

Has it been awhile since you've driven it?

deadendd9009

Last November. And back then I had a misfire problem because of this little fella, causing the passenger side variocam solenoid not to work, triggering a misfire on the driver's side bank!

Those brackets are not repairable... especially since they're so cheap.

I believe that some occasional distancing from the 996 Turbo sharpens one's appreciation for the car.
