Gonna give the car some TLC.

While it's down, might refresh other items. Contemplating 4.0 clutch/PP and lwfw.

We've pinned and done the 4.0 Clutch Kit upgrade more times than I can remember. We're in South Florida (west Broward county/Davie, just west of Ft. Lauderdale). In Tarpon Springs (LOL) contact ViperBob here on Rennlist.

Why is it coming down? What else are you having done?

Car has 38k miles on it and I'm just getting nervous. Don't want to keep DE'ing with non welded coolant pipes....

But overall car just needs maintenance. I can tell the pressure plate is going to go soon.

Hello fellow Tampa resident. I'm actually in need of a good Porsche shop in the area, I just bought my first Porsche. I used PSI in orlando for BMW related issues and I know they work on enough Porsche GT cars.

Thanks for the input.

Have dealt with Orbit before. Kind of 50/50 on them. Just want a good shop with extensive knowledge of the GT cars. Maybe I'll tow to a shop in another state nearby.

Auto quest is probably closest.
Does that mean you're going to come to DE's again?
