Ok, it's been far too long so I'm due for an update.

I spent this past winter working on a few different projects:
Tear out the rest of my A/C junk
Brake system overhaul
Steering system overhaul
MSD Install
New 7 and 8" Fuchs, some slicks
Dropped ride height
Corner balanced
Track alignment
Pictures, here we go!
MSD Install:
A/C Junk tear-out:
Steering rack rebuild with new turbo tie-rod kit:
Brake calipers powder coated flat black, vinyl porsche script placed, clear coated and rebuilt:
New SS brake lines, ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid, Hawk Racing Brake Pads, brand new hardware and bleeders/boots, drilled and specialty coated zimmerman rotors:
Alignment/lowering/corner balance, net wt 2584lb from 2756lb stock:
Fuchs with slicks!:
Hope you enjoyed the photos!
Cheers

So I decided to change the slicks out for some old street tires so that I could run the fuchs all the time because they are so pretty!
Brakes are still looking good too.
Cheers!

Thanks Ronan and PorscheFile,
I regret not having all of the detail I used to put into these posts, but I am strapped for time lately and just wanted to share what I have done with the car
Regards,
Jonathon

Race Car
Well that was an epic read. Thanks for the great learning experience and confirmation that buying a new, old car was worth the $$! Look forward to seeing the beast at a future GTG.
