My Porsche-manly weekend: think you can beat me??

[MarkRobinson]

I have $5 via Paypal if you can beat me.

Friday evening: checked on the repaint of my 944T: getting close!
Took 911 turbo to the gym: always fun to drive fast on rr2244.
Friday night: washed the '91 928 GT, took off rear tire cause of nail. fun.
Took off left rear strut for my new 928 coilover configuration.

Saturday am: washed 911 turbo.
Saturday am spin class, lunch.
Met friend at Lexus to buy a new car (successful)
Met PCA Racer friend at Boostlogic to work up EFI system for 944T race car
Set up in the office to sort & lap valves on race car head 1-4: set all 16v.
Ate dinner, walked dogs, went back out into garage (AC on) & swapped
coilovers on the '91 GT for a newer lower rear mount (see pic below), removed the upper racing mount for a street setup. Finished about 10pm.

Sunday: met up for breakfast with a PCA buddy, went out to Legend Garage (Ben Genovese's establishment), did some bead blasting thanks to Ben's generosity. Ben has a plethora of 928 intakes hanging in various states of powdercoating: an incredible investment in shop/tools to offer his products: first class: good job Ben! Picked up my powdercoated intake parts for the 928 race car while I was there: oh yeah, I need that.
Sunday worked on 944T race car, removed old windshield, hood, bled brakes, installed 11" front wheels & spacers.
Ate late lunch with a few racers, went over to West Dillard's house & played MAF conversion with him for a bit.
Sunday afternoon: returned to my AC'd garage, lowered race car from lift.
Sunday installed new Speedhut Fuel level gauge in my carbon fiber dash console: hard to do while vacuuming at the same time. :/
Sunday: got under car, adjusted & re-mounted my Aeromotive Fuel filter & adjusted my -8an fuel supply line to the filter.
Placed 911 on lift & prepared for exhaust removal.
Put up tools, crashed about 11pm.

Monday am: took off 911 turbo's exhaust, resealed, re-installed.
Took 911 Turbo turbo-back exhaust across town to get wide-band O2 bung welded. GT drove great with new coilovers on it. Now it's turbo-time.
Reinstalled 911 exhaust.
Worked on some suspension parts for a customer, cleaned up the office.
Back into office: sorted & lapped valves for race head 5-8, took head to
washer, cleaned, washed turbo 928, got a few lookers from a Cobra replica group, raced & beat (bad) a new E63 AMG.
Finished painting suspension parts.
Took 911 for a test spin to ensure exhaust is fully sealed: success.
Ate quick dinner, put up tools, sat down to watch the Monaco Grand Prix in 45m, off to bed.

I love getting a lot done on weekends. Could have used more down-time but still did what I wanted to do.

I don't get that much achieved in one year. Sounds like a great way to lose weight!I will resume the second paragraph tonight.

[AFC-911]

I'm sure someone had sex in the back of their Cayenne on Saturday and again in their Panamera on Sunday.

That should trump your manly weekend.

[URY914]

You got me beat.

I walked by my P-car several times this weekend.

[MarkRobinson]

just because I didn't disclose sex in my busy weekend doesn't mean it was absent. Course she was sick so it certainly wasn't...oh I better stop now. :/

You better fit her in when she gets better because the weekend is coming up and u will have another busy schedule! Oh the joy of youth. I am guessing by your energy level that u are not over 40 years old!

[MarkRobinson]

I just turned 43.

Spin class: sit in the front, challenge everyone who's younger than you, pretty manly.

Spin class: sit in the back, stare at all the great butt's in front of you (as the class is mostly women), still pretty manly.

Either way I get points.

[vash]

nope..i got nothing.

my weekend was pretty much the opposite as far as Porsche content and manliness.

[Zeke]

Yep, your fiver is safe from me.

[FLYGEEZER]

Well now! Ain't you the one......... I was feeling guilty for not doin' anything. Then again, your 30 years younger. May be I'm just envious of your youth!

[s_morrison57]

my Porsche content this past weekend was limited to thinking about it, I'm 5000 miles away from the 930
Finn

[Flieger]

Wow, that is a lot of stuff. I did go for a nice drive on Sunday afternoon but other than that it was just relaxing.

Good grief. Spin class? I could never do that. I hate everything about the concept. I prefer to ride real hills. They are much more fun on the descents.

[cstreit]

Saturday am spin class, lunch.

Yout lost my "manly" vote on line 6.

I actually had to go back and read it again to be sure.

You can turn in your man card at the door. Trade in your 911 & 944 for a Boxster, while you're at it.

[MarkRobinson]

what's with you guys? I've lifted weights for nearly 30 years...time for some cardio: I don't need any more muscle.

Besides, my wife has Never asked me how much I can bench, but she loves to see me drenched from spin class. No equipment to buy, no cars to dodge, no sunburn, no bike to tote around.

Screw you guys, I love it. OH and it's AIR CONDITIONED!

[Jim Richards]

That's pretty harsh, Z-man. Don't 944 owners already start out with a man-card deficit? Where's the sympathy for a fellow FEWC guy?

[Macroni]

Took my wife for a 1.5 hr drive in a non A/C 73 in 80+ weather..... takes a real man to put up with all the Bit**in....

[Jim Richards]

Now that's manly!
