Hey Steve,
Thinking of picking up a 915/67 for my scooter. Is there anything that can be determined by a visual/hand inspection on a trans out of the car? Thinking that a basic refresh of the synchros and possibly a Guard, just to keep things silly. If it was shipped to you how much "roughly" for the above. Obviously it's impossible to know the real details until it's cracked open. Would you consider a 80k mile trans a core, and what value would you estimate? I know P-car transmissions aren't cheap to buy or rebuild, just trying to get an idea.
Thanks, hope all is well with you!

Steve you where right. Took muffler off and engine made 241 at wheels and over 200ft pounds torque.

Hi Steve,

If you have some time Sat evening, it would be great if you could stop by at the BBQ.

Hi Steve,
It's been a while, unfortunately, since I've been to the Beers and Burgers. Hope to make it soon, but I'm currently taking a wine course every Wednesday night to broaden my wine knowledge.
Been tinkering away with the 79 911 and finally replaced the oil return tubes which stopped a leak that has been lingering for a while. Couple other little things here and there.
Last autox is this Sunday and was curious if you had any opinion on tire pressures for 16" 205/225 street tire pressures.
I've read some posts and there of course is a billion opinions, Dave at Pelican Parts says that street tires tend to like a little higher pressures. True?
In the past I've tried to keep them around factory recommendations and it seems to work while letting air out as they heat up.
Anyways, hope to see you soon for an alignment and corner balance after I replace some bushings and torsion bars.
Take care.

Aye aye, Sir.

Hi Steve - Next beer n burgers is fine (13th - next Thursday).

HI Steve. We talked yesterday about corner balancing my car, We should set up a time for that. "Oh By The Way", how much will that cost.

Also, do you have any experience with getting collapsible spares off the rim without damage, and remounting them onto different (ie 928) rims?

Scott,

I think you have multiple issues,....

1) A catch can has no connection to how Webers will run. Thats only for dealing with crankcase and oil tank breathing and a catch can or tank breather is recommened. Without seeing your installation, I cannot offer anything further,..

2) Popping & backfiring is carb-related and you need to go through the whole installation and setup to solve that one. This means close attention to details such as clean fuel, fuel pressure, float level, and proper jetting. Further, the ignition system must be in PERFECT operating order and the valves all adjusted properly.
