Well, I finally got rid of the 2 CEL codes that I've had forever. Before I could renew my registration here in Virginia I had to have the emissions test done, and not wanting to pay for another waiver, I used some tax refund money to get the VarioCam solenoid (P1531) and a valve on the Evap system replaced (P0442). I went to a Porsche only shop called IMA Motorsports. Turns out they just opened a new shop 3 weeks ago in a brand new building 2 miles from my house (and they sell parts). They do a ton of racing cars. Anyway, the final tally was $1875 and I now have no black tape covering the check engine light. Over the past weekend I went thru a whole tank of gas with no CEL. Passed the emissions test with flying colors.

Maybe I'll keep up just a little better at the Dragon this fall.
