Very nice and congrats!
How are the PCCBs aging at those mileage? I know in theory it should be "life time" for street use but... never know.

The PCCBs are still stopping well. I had them on the track for one day. I don't think this car has any other track time. I spoke with one of the PCCB refurb companies about determining wear, and I am going to measure them next time I have the whees off. I will post my results and current mileage at that time. https://www.redisc.si/

Are coolant lines pinned or stock?

They were stock when I got it. I pinned them and replaced all of the rubber coolant hoses from the middle of the car to the back.

At what mileage did you have them pinned and was it required or preventative?

I pinned them myself at approximately 83k miles. It was preventative. All sleeves were in place with no leaks.

so, as Mark Twain said, “the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated”

thanks for the info. Glad to hear there are/were many higher mileage cars with original lines and no issues.

Yes, the car is great. Everyone should drive them like this. Lots of miles and lots of regular maintenance.

Would you happen to have a list of the part numbers of all the rubber coolant hoses you replaced? I want to do the same when I pin my lines. Thanks!

I bought all of the hoses as a kit from Sharkwerks. I don’t think you can replace them all unless your engine is out.

Congrats on enjoying this great machine! So, you were able to pin the lines and change the hoses with the engine on the car???
