Cabriolet: Will pick up on Friday (getting SOUL headers and X-pipes, Fabspeed Mufflers). Hoping to take a mid April trip to Hocking Hills, Ohio (my fav spot)

I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy!
Nice!! I wont make it to any track events this year with the porsche but i might try some with the vette. the porsche as usual has been on hold as i build the new man cave at the house we moved into.

Also putting on Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, short shifter, 964RS engine mounts, rebuilding clutch cylinder that is leaking ,Sachs 2.5 clutch / pressure plate.

i am guessing somewhere in the 550-600whp area, so the next thing is bigger brakes !

Not sure if anyone is interested but a bunch of us are going to the 1/2 mile drag event down in IN again this year, well i was supposed to go last year but my water pump started leaking 2 days before the event and i couldnt source one before hand so i didnt risk it. A few of my friends went and loved it so we are going again this year Indy Airstrip Attack – Airstrip Attack

Who do I sell the kidney to? I have a bit of scrap lumber, as well, to sweeten the pot.

Hey guys.. and girls.. anyway. So the 22nd event going on at Grattan for midnight protective films I'm going to. I think I have an extra free entry. My friend is having issues with his car and already bought the ticket and might not be able to go. if he cant get a refund for the ticket its up for grabs if anyone is interested.

can't beat free.

I'm thinking of having my engine fan and shroud powder coated. Has anyone here had this done and can you give me a recommedation for a shop in the greater SE Mich area. I'm in Ypsi but I don't mind driving to get it in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing with magnesium. Thanks!

I am in Ypsi also! You may want to call Gerber on Industrial. They might point you in the right direction.
