Working on cars is sort of a Zen thing for me - relaxing, enjoyable, and I get it done exactly how I want it done.

The downside is that my free time is somewhat limited with work and racing. When I'm pushed for time or need racing expertise, then I'll use the indy. Only been to the dealer once - for the PPI.

I'd say I do all my work. Today, Replacing the power steering pump, many 4 letter expletives, it's had a rattle since the last DE. Semi solid motor and transmission mount because I'm tired of breaking the stock Porsche ones. They weren't designed for the HP and torque of the 3.6 motor. Main hoses from motor to the front radiators had to take them off anyway. Purged the antifreeze. Checked everything for my next DE in a week. What I don't do is tires and the signed track inspection.
