If it aint on the forum it didn't happen. Come on Andy - I could do with another fix of curry powder staining and sex-shop latex

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
after almost 6 months locked in the garage , moved the 911 out into the sunshine just to get things flowing etc

still running like shite as the MFI is all out of synch and needs re setting up
BUT, forgot what a sweet reving motor it is
. Makes the 964 engine seem lazy . Its a pretty car too
Decided I'm going to have to get someone to set up the MFI again ( linkage worked itself loose when I had my clutch vibration problem end of last year ) as my attempts, which have improved it , have still not got it right
Usual problem of most MFI guys are down south

Get yourself over to my pad on Thursday the 19th, we will sort the throttle bodies and have a pint. Then off to the RS day at Oulton on the Friday.hot66 wrote:after almost 6 months locked in the garage , moved the 911 out into the sunshine just to get things flowing etc

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Got the Rennshift in the correct position, and found it helps to FULLY tighten the rear gearbox coupling...
Bloody works well now, so very precise, none of the 915 magic wand stirring stuff.
Got the racer running and checked the carb balance, spot-on, plugs all the same dark biscuit colour, spot-on but can't get 2nd or 4th, nothing new there!
911 looks so very pretty in this sun.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
On Saturday drove to Cofton Park for to take my son to the Inter Counties XC. The race didn't go at planned for him but we got the top off on the way back and it almost made up for a carp race. When I got home I changed the oil and filter. Unfortunately I didn't have a turkey blaster so I used kitchen towel to absorb the oil from the filter canister. No shinny bits in the canister so all is good.
On Tuesday I took the Targa to Revival to finally get the back firing when taking my foot of the accelerator on the motorway sorted. Unfortunately as I was showing Max something in the engine bay we noticed the oil filler cap wasn't on. I found it behind the left carb! Lesson to myself fix the cap on correctly before driving off!!

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
The past couple of days have been spent getting the engine back in, putting on new header exhaust system, installing a rennshift shifter and finishing off the suspension and brake upgrades.
Then i started the engine after a rebuild. And it drips oil. a lot of oil.
Then i had a sulk.
Then i had a tantrum.
Then i put the car back in the garage and decided to worry about the leak tomorrow and go and have a pint. I'm going to miss the Harewood practice session now, but hey-ho. I will get it onto the track soon enough.

Enjoy your pint(s) Stuart - it'll turn out to be something simple when you look at it tomorrow ...
