Porsche withdrawal...must...hold...out....
I am just over the halfway point of a deployment in Iraq...going through serious 911 withdrawal...I thought it would make things better if I checked out some clips on YouTube, since I just got internet working where I am staying.
Bad move...one clip with the sound of a flat six blaring (note: technical content) and the view over twin headlight humps was enough to bring me almost to tears. Just 6 or 7 more months...grrrr..... Not looking for sympathy, just venting to a crowd that can relate.

RSflared72E:
First, thank you for serving our country in Iraq. I admire your commitment and bravery. Next, YOU OWN A LONGHOOD WITH FLARES AND A 2.7 MFI RS SPEC MOTOR! You are one lucky pup! It is no wonder you miss driving your 911. Stay alert and hurry back. Best of luck. Mike |

No MFI...it had Webers from a PO, which I sold before I left. I'm debating induction options while I am over here. It would be great to find a package deal on an MFI system but I am not counting on it...other options include EFI or just going with PMOs. I will have some time to decide when I get back, the car is apart to be repainted back to its original Viper green.
But yes, I do miss the sound of that baby...

It will be a nice car, once the project is done...the POs committed many crimes.
No need to thank me for anything - just doing our jobs over here.

We are saving you a spot on our next Hill Country Rally. Get back here and get that car back together so we can cut up some back roads.
 Thanks, Bob |
