Solid recommendation. It’s gonna have to wait though. I’ve also got a 99 C2 with winter projects in mind. The 911 fund is never full.

Fixed the sticky accelerator pedal. Pedal wouldnt operate smoothly, making acceleration from a stop harder than it should be.

I think we're spirit animals - I have a 2001 C2 that never seems to end.

The Turbo and NA are completely different animals aren’t they? Love them both. My 99 is my DD. I have snows on it now. It’s a very light bugger. Fun handling car. Never lets me down.

This is sage advice; I knew one of mine were leaking, when they were removed, in fact all of them were weeping a little.

Just heard my Numeric shift cables have cleared customs. That's a nice Friday surprise.

No, I bought it off the marketplace here at least a year ago, maybe longer.

Oh, totally. I got my Turbo to replace my C2 (at least, that's what I told my wife) because the IMS had grenaded and the car was sitting idle. Instead, after I got my Turbo, we started the 3.4 to 3.8 conversion. Car is so much lighter, and the linear power is nice.

I've always described to people who don't understand that having different sports cars is like having different knives. I've said that the Turbo is a lot like a Chef's knife - you can basically do anything with it. My Lotus Elise is more like a filet knife, but I like how the C2 runs right up the middle of those.

I'll post some updates on the C2 once it's painted
