Shan, I saw an old post where you constructed carbon fiber (?) targa top that did not require use of oem top frame? I am looking for replacement to old folding targa top and would really like to find replacement that I can simply bolt and go. Everything I see out there requires a "do it yourself" project.

Hey Shane, here's a link to the carbon fan shroud kit. Price isn't too bad either(for carbon stuff).

Dont forget, do all of your adjustments on a warm engine, you my have a crappy idle until it is warmed up, but that is OK you want your car to run best in a warmed up condition.

Once you get close you need to take the car out and drive the dog **** out of it, drive it like you dont have a clue how to shift, you have to get the rings seated and worn in.

Yes 4500 is the ballpark you want to play in. Seriously in third gear get to about 4K and stomp on it. You should launch to about 100 MPH immediatly.

You poor idle could be a result of a nubmer of things. Most likely it is a result of the Carbs being out of balance, or your timing being off. Set your timing to be all in at about 3500 RPMs and dont worry about idle.

Then tune your carbs so they can idle at that setting.

Fine tune and adjust your carbs Air and idle.

Once you get it to idle as smooth as you can you can then back a little timing out to smooth the idle, or leave it as is for better top end.

Hi, hope your new engine is running great.

I finished mine and now have it on the road. Have some mixed feelings about it. Due to break in I have not taken it over 4500rpm and have not been impressed with the power. Does it come on cam at higher rpm?

Also having problems with the idle. Could not get it to idle right below 1200 so I took it to a local Porsche guru. He called Richard Parr and worked on it without improvement. Richard has no idea why it wont idle. Have you had any issues with your engine idling?

You have to remove the whole frame that holds the vent window. There are three or four hex head bolts that are covered by plastic plugs in the leading edge of the door. They hold the vent frame in place.
It is best to remove the interior door panel, handle and arm rest first. It is a pretty straight forward swap, just take your time and if you can take pictures as you go so you can use them for reference putting it all back together.

I would like to replace my fixed vent windows on my 86 to operable vent windows

pLease tell me how you replaced your vent windows
