Googled it - it was Belushi and Blues Brothers - good to see my memory still works somewhat.

I am fairly confident you need a special permit to resell other peoples kids for profit.

I believe the market for children is up about 15% in the last four months, along with QQQ and sports cars. Good timing!

One daughter is enough for me, I'll keep her the Turbo and wife for now, but let's be clear on the order of disposal 🤔😂😂😂👍🇬🇧

So, this has made an immense difference.

Quite happy.

Had a good, clean, run into the office this morning and had a bit of a chance to push the suspension a bit more.

Two things are different, the first being the occasional clunk from the right front seems to have disappeared, and two, the push from the front is most certainly less noticeable, as the front tracks with a more precise feel, which is a bonus.

Off to the valley tomorrow to really give it a go, but this is very crisp now. I likey.

Vancouver Porsche is seriously lacking sports cars; only electrics SUVs and a Targa, Boxster spyder, a 997 and a Lambo on the floor....

Eerie to see so few cars....

FINALLY have a key that works properly!

Save for the fluid change, all work is now complete for this season.

Yay!

Working with Sam the Man to get billet turbos (K16s down from my K24s), ID1300 fuel injectors, larger inter-cooler and a Cobb MAF-less map.

Like I told Sam, I hate that it will no longer be an X50, except for the designation on the frunk label. Well not completely true, the transmission is still beefier.

Looking to get 700 at the crank.

@tom__w - Why are you going down to the K16 billets? Just looking for faster spool times? I have been contemplating doing the same when I refresh the turbos.
