We, Brewsters, put Swepco in the Trans and it shifts better now, I think it shifts better than the G50 in my Targa did and I liked it, this is smoother and easier. Still tight getting into reverse and sluggish 1st to 2nd when cold. Oh, 12 years newer. It does feel different than the Porsche in corners, I will have to get used to it. But it does feel faster, quicker. It just isn't a Porsche. and I knew it wasn't. I put 120 miles on it today and liked it, just getting used to it.

Nice car. I've always liked the Z3 coupe. Drove around Streets of Willow with one. Very capable track cars if the need arises.

Actually, we used to call it The Clown Shoe. I had two friends with Estoril Blue M Coupes back in the day. Decent driving car, with some engineering details unfinished (like it would get so hot behind the dash that the radio would turn itself off).

I hardly ever listened to the radio in the Porsche but this exhaust is so quiet I found myself playing with all the stations yesterday. I hope they fixed that flaw before they made mine.

What's the sticker to the left of the rear wiper?

BTW, the temp plate goes on the rear plate bracket

Looking good!!

I just taped it in the window. Waiting for the codes to reset after the work, still two not reset. Can't get the smog yet and the new plates. I have had to drive it a lot. Damn. How about ZZZ SHU or SHU ZZZ or HELLROT or SHUZZZ, haven't checked if any are available yet, waiting until I pay the blood money to the DMV.

It's pretty easy to find out if those vanity plates are available. Just go to the DMV website, type a plate in as if you're ordering it, and it'll tell you if it's available or not.

Yeah, I did that with the Porsche, 89 615 for the year and last three digits of the VIN. People asked me if that was for HP. Yeah, sure.
Just haven't cared enough to look it up yet.
