Again, nice talking with you Sidney. I was being ushered out as they had to lock the lab I was in up and I didn't have my keys, but I'll call you again sometime when I iron out more details.

Sounds good.... I'm anxious.... Even though I don't have much time either in these next few weeks...

Dad and I will start arguing over a paint scheme soon... Part of me says gulf... Part of me says a nice white with some subtle stripes ala Martini....

Pillow is ok, Tempur stuff, developed by Nasa, lol



Those Fuchs will fit, if you take the tires off....

I'm thinking the 944 would need fender flares for those beasts....

Something like this, I suppose. (but this one actually is a 924 GTR)

Ya... thats a radical car... Way more radical than I ever want to go...

Morning, guys.

I have a slightly neurotic tech question for you guys. Out of laziness and the fact that I only drove my 85 Carrera some 1500 miles last summer, I skipped the oil change. Since then she has been hibernating the last six months. Now I have the yearly MOT this week and I have negotiated a valve check with a Porsche tech in about a month (obviously with an oil change).

I want to drive her this coming month before the valve job. Should I:

1. Change the oil this week and fill her up with some cheap stuff to avoid driving with two and a half years of old oil for a month and then change for a better quality at the valve job, or

2. Just drive this month with the old oil (SWEPCO 306)?

I know, how neurotic is that..

Change the oil.

BUT NEVER WITH CHEAP STUFF, YOU DOOFUS!!

Oil is the blood of your car, do not use lesser quality.

And Marcus, please, an oil change is as difficult as filling it up at the gas station....
Get a big enough recipient, unscrew 2 bolts, drain oil, screw in two bolts, fill with new oil.
It is that easy.
Also, you could change the oil filter, to be sure.
Next step is doing your own valves....

Thanks, G.

You know I have done all the service on my car so far myself, including valve adjustments. This time I feel too lazy and decided to let my friend do it. The oil and filter will naturally be changed when he does the valves, but as I said that is not for a month or so. As I want to drive the car in the meantime, I was thinking that its better to put in some fresh oil than to drive with the old one, but that I could save my money for a good oil until the valve change.

If you plan on replacing it before the valve adjustments, you might as well use good quality oil...

and I'm sorry I under estimated your tech skillz Doc... ;)

No worries, G. They are rudimentary at best. :D

morning fellas.

thanks for ratting out my planned betrayal to the air-cooled brotherhood, G.

We'll see what happens. the car has been picked up and I plan on driving it a couple of times before I do anything rash. I have found a bunch of nice GT3's for sale CHEAP though...

Oh, and congrats on surpassing 10,000!!

Good morning guys.

serves you right for not contacting the belgian chapter of the brotherhood whilst visiting their territory......


(and besides, what did I say, I didn't rat nothing out.... go ahead, have a looksee....)


:D:D:D:D

If I could find that perfect 2004 GT3 for around 50 large I would be at my bank asking for a loan. I try hard to not go looking. I really like being debt free.

Jeff, Glenn,

How'bout this?......
Man, this is pure sex on wheels...
Morning ladies.
