Id love to but porsche is down with the swap till spring and my audi went up in a ball of flames on I-75 about a month and half ago... so ya im done with fun stuff for a while.

 

Is there a chance that anyone would have a 996 or 997 shifter alignment tool?

Thanks in advance!!

 

I would be but I am out of town again

 

Let me check. I had one as well as an entire shifter somewhere.

 

I can try but I have to detail 6 cars for a fund raiser on Sunday. Also, need to clean out my office since I start a new job on Monday...… Would bring the new GT3 since my minor damage Cayman turned out to be a new motor. Is anyone doing the Grattan event?

 

Sounds like a busy weekend, but I think a new GT3 deserves to be taken out! If you do decide to go, shoot me an email at lantrassian@gmail and hopefully we can meet up.

 

Thought I'd bump this. Michigan gets kinda dead when it gets cold and all the pretty cars disappear. No longer have a Porsche, but did "acquire" my father's C5 'vette for the winter. He needed a place to store it. I decided to detail it. After 13 hours spread across 3 days it looks pretty good, but there are still some scratches and swirls too deep for me to correct. I went through 3 different pad / compound combinations before I found something that worked to get even some of the scratches and swirls out.

15 years of scratching and swirling


New hotness

 

looks good, want to do mine

 

wow ya looks good, nice work. I'm knee deep in my engine swap and interior build but looking forward to getting it done by summer and enjoy my lambaporsche lol Any plans on getting another Porsche anytime soon or perhaps another ride?

Be nice Tekkie .. its my party and I'll change it if I want to lolol Tekkie can you share some pics of you new toy on this thread?

 

I'm more than happy to assist. I have the tools and product and will help a friend for pizza, beer, and minor reimbursement of product costs. If you want to drop it off and pick it up another day I probably spent $1000 worth of my time and detailing products on the Corvette...most of that being time. Probably only $100 worth of product.

No immediate plans for another vehicle. Still have my Jeep lease until early 2021. Also need a few months of sanity to make sure my post-divorce planned and actual monthly budgets are in line and I know what excess I have to put in the bank and play with later. I might pick up something cheap to play with next summer, like an old Miata. Long term I'm debating whether I get a cheap daily and stuff another Cayman into the garage, or find something which can pull dual-duty. The new Audi RS6 Avant should haul my bicycle, skis, and it's own *** around a race track.

 

LOL i have all the products / tools as well, its a lot of darn work i did it once to my S4 a few years ago.... not sure i will ever do that again.

The RS6 is crazy expensive, absurdly expensive even for my everyday dream car.

 

nothing special, 2001 turbo 28k miles, 6 speed of course, it has an exhaust and i just put a tune on it so its around 500hp now

the powerband is so different than the NA, the thing is fast but it doesn't sound nearly as good and i miss the high rpms

needs more low! so coilovers are a must

 

That sounds like fun! I recall a friend having an issue with the car staying in 2nd gear in his 996 turbo manual. I think there is a fix out there. Don't know if your car has the fix or has / will have that issue with the transmission.

Bring car and products over when the weather gets warm. I enjoy detailing. Hard work and long hours to get it done right, but the end result is worth it! If we're going to be polishing then I'm not too worried about water spots from washing / drying in the sun. I usually wait until 5pm to start a wash (garage casts a shadow on the driveway), but then I'm not done detailing until 10 or 11 pm. So an earlier start to the day would be nice .

 

so far i have not had the 2nd gear pop out but yeah there are some fixes for it, not sure if its done or not

for the detailing you are crazy if you enjoy that but i may take you up on that some day, I am guessing doing it is a bad idea before wrapping it though right?

 

nice!!
