Yeah I'm looking into a maxjax in the future....but I wanted the garage to look good and be organized first. (Said my wife) Also a good friend of mine that I met on here (Doug427) has an awesome garage that we do routine maintenance on our cars. His garage is setup nicely for actual diy.


Baby steps but I will get there.

Put some Porsche valve caps on. Pretty sure I picked up 5hp.

Depends on what they are made of. :D

Nevermind. Thank you.

Had a new windshield installed today, I can see!!!

Nice little drive in the hills

Took the car to the local dealer for a safety and emission inspection as required here in PA. It passed the emissions but failed the safety due to a cracked motor mount! They wanted $900 for the repair. Luckily, I have a garage now and may do it myself or have a local, recommended on here, shop do it for about $275 along with a reinspection. I figured I'd give the dealer a shot... and I got a cheap (complimentary with the safety inspection) multi-point inspection done and a list of things to do in the near future.

Found the problem of my EVAP issues... Apparently when the fuel pump was replaced back in 2016, the "mechanic" who replaced it thought epoxy would fix a broken purge vent. When I confronted him about it, he just said, "whatever".

But it's fixed now, replaced the float assy and all is well.

Better than duct tape I suppose?

No offence but if a customer came up to me after 5 years and complained... I'd say whatever too. Its 20 year old plastic that gets doused with gasoline all the time; what do you expect?

I think that’s his point, it’s a stupid way to repair it and the guy should have known better

That is exactly my point. If he had fixed it correctly, or at the very least brought it to my attention, it would have saved me over $900. Even if he caused the damage, I would have never known. I think he broke it when replacing the pump, and instead of manning up, he just used epoxy to cover his ass.

Work like that and the businesses that employ workers like that should be reported to your local Better Business Bureau.

Took out my CLU, ECU and FOBs to get the wet CLU repaired. Hoping it can get fixed. I've heard positive results are possible.

My car has always started, run and driven well. Just a few nice-to-haves like Windows that roll down and doors that lock :-) would be nice.

Painted my wheels black and put on Porsche decal. I think it looks good on a white car!

Nice! What decal did you use?

Removed the wet sheetrock and insulation from the top and rear end. The plastic rear window did not fare as well as hoped. The wet gypsum also marred several spots on the fenders and one door. Took photos and made an insurance claim. Will start demo of the remainder of the garage ceiling mess tomorrow.

I take it that it's a casualty of last week's weather and subsequent power outages? Sorry that happened to you, and to all the good folks down there.

Same here.

Finished installing my MaxJax lift and broke it in by replacing the right front radiator fan.

Yes. More cold than power, as I have a generator. That turned out to be one of four leaks, all in places that should not have leaked. All fixed now. Almost. Thanks! Hoping its not a twice in a lifetime event.

As always, I like your approach to life. Or at least to things mechanical.

Let us know how it works out.

I hope the rods don't "work out" of the block. LOL

But hey I paid $100 for this block. Whats another $100 if the gapatizer pushes a piston out the bottom. :D

I started the sticker bombing process on the old deck lid. The Z top hatch will be kept clean though.

I finally broke down and bought the GT3 console delete kit and installed it. I'll miss the 2 storage cubbies I had, but hope my right leg appreciates the extra room!

DUDE!! That car looks F'in AWESOME with that air cleaner visible! Nice work!! :cheers:

I cracked up at “powered by greta’s tears”!

LOL. My friend made that sticker for me per my request. It really helps the statement to have a lot of supercharged blow by oil coming out of your exhaust. :D


Thanks, it gives the pantera kinda feel to the car. It does murder the slick Z top lines, but its worth it cause I can sit in traffic all day and not worry about under hood temps... cause what hood. LOL

Your grandkids will thank you for it.

Very unique :cheers:
Can we get a sound clip or video of this bad boy?

Thanks, getting a video is a challenge for two reasons.

One I haven't used my youtube account in over 15 years; recovery is being difficult.

Two Charleston, SC is not known for good roads. Strait and flat, nothing cool or daring. Fortunately I'm going to DGRR this year (without a rotary powered car this time) and I should get some good wife supplied footage. The roads in NC&TN are great for turbocharged cars, lets hope supercharged cars do well too. :D
