Thanks Chris - like I said I thought it was of my own doing and that a little fiddling would fix when I got the opportunity. With all the business travel I've been doing (and working from home when I'm actually here) plus the arrival of another baby, that opportunity just hasn't presented itself and I've barely put a few hundred KM on it since the install :(

Anyway, I'll shoot you some pictures and we can coordinate

Gsxrken, it looks really good!

Richard, please change those hose clamps :)

Excellent tig work. A can of Dupont Trim paint in black will do the trick. Might not even need to powder coat it.

x2 - I had one done a few years back for about $10.
Replacing the hard line + shipping was about 50x that!

No kidding. Seriously nice welding there, sir! :-)

No 930 projects for me at the moment...
 

...unless you count killing bugs and burning up fuel with it.

Running errands yesterday out at the country house. I happened to fall in behind a Carrera GT. Holy sheet that thing sounds otherworldly. Now where did I put that $400k? I want me one of those!

Thanks! I'm excited to see how the look on the car.

So I noticed last week that I had no more tow point due to the GT3 front suspension

so what to do? I called Rennline and ordered a pair(I could have went with one but I wanted the balance look( of their version of front bumper shocks with the threading for a Tow hook.

I installed and aligned the new bumper shocks...I also drilled the necessary holes and tested everything prior to final mount. The Tow hooks are sticking out.

No More Puny Factory Cams
 

A bump to get this thread going again after all this *yawn* talk about Turbo market pricing...

3.4L 930
EFI and flat manifold, 36mm heads
GHL headers, GT35R, twin 3" straight pipes
full width intercooler
1.1bar boost

Comparison of factory SC cams vs TK's EFI-T camshafts.
The torque gain at 3,000rpm says it all.
Turbos.
Meant to be driven, hard.

Excellent results with that build, Chris! And I totaly agree with the "yawn" bit - these things are meant to be driven hard and modified often. Eff the "low miles & stock" philosophy, for sure! :D
