Disappointed, but understand about the dyno. Your data, your call.

Still interested in engine porn. Please post up lots of pic's!

I talked to Jake yesterday everything is going as planned. We decided to go with a deeper oil pan/cover plate " while we were in there ". Adds some additional oil capacity which can't be bad. The goal was to have the car ready by the end of the month and we are on pace assuming no surprises. I don't want any surprises !!! I can barely sleep at night as it is in anticipation of picking up my version of a Boxster S GT3 !

Hey everyone I thought I would post an update. Unfortunately just as we were making progress I was diagnosed with a life issue. Not going to go into details but I have Jake temporarily on hold and he has agreed to do so. The build will still take place but won't be completed until the end of the year. I'm on a medical path that will correct/eliminate the issue but it will take a few months. I'm disappointed but you have to have your priorities in place when something like this happens. As Arnold says " I'll be back ! " .

Sorry to hear about your health. Winter will be here shortly anyway. Gives you more time to get it done.

I'm still alive ! This coming Thursday I undergo the medical procedure and if all goes as planned will start the road to recovery. Basic timeline Jake will get turned back on the beginning of November and I'll have the car back as a Christmas present to myself !!!
