If you schedule a time to come by I can put some of the parts in your hand that have similar failures. Let me guess, you were running Mobil 1 on the track?
I sent you a PM.
That's not what I wanted to hear (welcome to Porsches, right?)! I didn't think there were any gold color parts in the IMS...thanks Jake.

For the other members...yes Mobile 1 on the track. I missed the post about not using it on the track.
