The SSIs made by JP are made with the exact same tooling and Machinery as used before in the U.S I am sure, if you ask i Viborg, it is possible for you to see and visit the facillities and workshop. Have a nice stay in Denmark :) |

John likely has a fabrication shop in the area. I will find out without being a stalker. Not sure which grade John was using - I think the corrosion resistance is just with chromium content.. Although stainless steel definitely does rust in a salt environment - I believe marine heat exchangers have nickel content. There are other variations for working properties, for fine grain possibilities (think targa bar, delorean), and for sealing properties (foodservice). There must be someone who has the before and after side by side - patrickmotorsports is a likely candidate. |

What are the chances you are in the following 2 videos? ....and what ever happened to your buddy that made all these cool videos? He seems to have vanished after his son was born.
Track day april 2009 compilation - YouTube christians cab - YouTube I can kind of understand it if having a child kind of killed the Porsche thing.... cause if this woman had my child....OMG I'd do whatever she said. :eek: first spring run - YouTube . |
Hey Douglas
That is my impression too! I do see him now and then for Porsche-meetings, though. My dad and I am in the first two minutes of the first video! I kind of forgot about that. We became 1st and 2nd at that DE 5 years ago in my car :) That second one is another Danish Porsche-friend's car... I very much agree! She is sweet looking :) /Christian |
Progress, it's coming along nicely and keeping me motivated. The under hood filler is your fabrication or aftermarket, nice touch and cleans up the fender lines.

Love the progress to date and the regular updates but please tell me you are going to refinish the fuel tank. The rest of the area is beautiful but the tank needs respraying and detracts from the rest of it.
Cheers Al |
Thanks, Al
I might do the tank at some point - I can see your point! Do you know what the right color of grey would be? /Christian Quote:

Very cool. I installed my pedal box the same way. Removed the steering wheel and driver's seat. Made the entire process way easier.

nice brakes.
one good trip through the hills and its all spoiled ;-) |
Lots of updates coming up. Lots of work done. Just haven't had the time to post...
But here is a video of the first start of the engine in 2½ years :D The new exhaust might be too loud, but I have a plan for that... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50vJHiDLi8M&feature=youtu.be /Christian |
Nice work!!
It must be an amazing feeling after two years and all the hard work you have put in. Not too loud at all, love the note, keep it as it is. Cheers Al |
Sounds great!

Thanks, guys!
It might be hard to hear on the video, but it is REALLY loud... |
A little more from today. I had to block off the chocker for the MFI as I am running headers... Fun work.

Make sure that screw is not too tight. The thermostat rod on mine ended up breaking and necessitating a total rebuild of the pump when the rod got into the cam and lifter area and seized up #3 and #6.

Thanks, for the advise! I will back it off a bit :)

Hey Max. Thanks again for the advise. It actually showed out, that I had not tighten it enough! I took of the side cover to see what was happening - and manually tested the play with a thin allen wrench. Here are some "open heart" pictures to show the open (chocker) position and the closed (non-chocker position)
