Hi

My 89 911 Coupe with 116k is going to Steinels in NE Ohio this winter for a little RnR. Steinels is going to refresh the top end including: little cam work, little port/polish work, refurb clutch, and whatever else i can do until my wallet runs dry. What do you guys think about regearing the final drive to make the car a little quicker? What do you think about putting a lightened flywheel on a street car? What do you think about putting in the higher compression Euro pistons?

The gearbox shifts without hesitation or complaint from me in stop n go traffic, when its cold or when its hot. I might do one or two DE events a year.

While the car is out of commission, Steinels will allow me to go in on Saturdays, put the car on a lift, remove the wheels and do whatever I want, i.e. clean, clean, clean. Last winter we went through the suspension and brake system and fixed, replaced, repaired and/or upgraded whatever. We also back dated the exhaust to pre 74 with new SSI's etc. Too much to list here.

My question is, and you old timers help me here because I'm a new P car owner, about a year, what cleaning/maintenance issues should I address while the engine and gearbox are out?

I use the car as a daily driver, 40 miles round trip, in good weather. (Now I can see the long list of wise cracks about "good weather" in NE Ohio, yes, it's snowing outside as I write this.)
