4.0 clutch, pp and life. You need to drive more. 3.5k? Really? Why??

So Alex, on a 20k mile motor, will you even need to split the case?
I love getting the play-by-play :-)

I can just imagine what your looking at by the pool side and it aint water
I live on a lake and I dont go in the water either, we have no sharks

No kidding you guys in Florida know how to keep those things shiny! Rob's car is in amazing shape inside and out. I guess you guys don't get snow and stuff so that helps. Actually what is this snow thing I hear about anyways?!

Taking a step AWAY from the engine stuff for a bit this is where we separate the men from the boys guys. All business here, no silly purple, blue or pink springs and hardware here... This is the EXE-TC stuff as set up by Gavin@Autoquest:





Having heard and read so much about this particular set up (Chris Harris etc...) I'm really looking forward to seeing this in action....

I love these street car to race car builds.

I just got my 997S down to 2715, and Gomez got his down to 2685... it just takes time and $

If it's as good as Gavin and Chris Harris say I'm _really_ looking forward to it. I was very impressed with the 4-way Ohlins already.

Thanks mobonic, one thing is these Florida guys know how to party too? Doing down to that level takes a lot of effort and time so I feel your pain It's often over-looked on these porkers but I jump in a 1300-1700 pound car once in a while and just cry...
