What Did You Do to Your 911 Today?

Went to a night rallye under the snow.

Excellent!

For Christmas, I asked Santa Claus a book. Maybe only a book, but a nice one!

This one: http://www.917-021.com

Because of the snow in Switzerland, Santa Claus was late and I just received it. And started to read it today. The story of this reconstruction or renovation, as you like, is great and I love the pictures. Visit the website and enjoy

I finally found and fixed the thunk noise that my car has had for 7 years!

You know there really is no need to be in a hurry. It is, after all, a hobby.

Ok, so it was a couple days ago now, but on Saturday I took my red car to the track for the first time... was a totally fun day and really helpful to find where the edges are. Here are some shots:

On Saturday I decided to de-heat my 911 and prepare the car for the distributor swap.

I removed the distributor - the refurbished dizzy should be here by Wednesday - but left the cap and wires, took off the heater boxes and Dansk sport muffler, swapped heater duct sheet metal for heater delete sheet metal, and then I went to install the headers, megaphones, and 911R muffler. However, as I bent down to pick up the headers I noticed that both sides had cracks around the exhaust flanges where they bolt up to the muffler. HUGE BUMMER because a) I've already had the headers ceramic coated and b) I need to have the car put together by Thursday so I can tune it for this weekend's track days.

So, this morning I took the headers over to the welding shop to have them properly repaired...I expect to have them back tomorrow late afternoon, but the guy was none too happy that they'd been ceramic coated already. In fact, he was right pissed.

But he comes highly recommended as one of the best welders in the area so I am confident that, no matter the cost, they headers will be fixed right. Until then my car is a push-mobile.

Hey thanks, it's taken a while to get it in focus... it still needs some finishing touches, but when I bought it several years ago it was a real mess. If I listed all the things I "did to it today" you guys would be bored stiff.

Hobby indeed 8-)

Mixture screws have been fiddled with.

Now all that's left is a tack day...in the rain.

I put new tires on Veronica. I had BF Goodrich G-Force TA KDWs that came with my Fuchs...less than 1000 miles...I checked the date code...2002! The new shoes are Potenza RE-11s, 225/50-16s and 245/45-16s.
Here are my old tires...perfect tread on them but dry and 10 years old.
