[911tracker85]

since that track event in Aug last year, life had been busy. regarding the car projects, doing a full brake caliper rebuild on the 928 and finally got all the engine parts and case shipped to Steve Weiner at rennsport systems for rebuild/recondition/maching work. along with my fan/housing and oil tank sent to Shaun at TRU6 to cerakote and a bunch of stuff to replate.

so finally dragged the 951 out of the trailer and into the shop.

hours later confirmed the cause of the clutch failure. one finger of the clutch fork broke. despite some small wear spots on it I cannot see anything around the break. if you have read this thread you will know I installed a completely new SPEC clutch, PP, alum flywheel, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, RMS, etc. only thing I did not replace was this damn clutch fork.

years ago the left rear torsion bar broke on my 85 911. no rust, corrosion, or any sign of cause. it just broke.

Monday I'll order the fork and all the exhaust gaskets for what I had to remove to get to it. when I built this car I had Lindsey Racing make my crossover exhaust pipe a 2-piece, glad I did.

while waiting on parts will do the oil/filter change, pull all the brake pads and clean the calipers, along with a full brake fluid flush. try to get all the maintenance work done so I is ready for the track this year.



and what may be one of my biggest accomplishments, finally made a beer mug from one of the bad cyl from the 930 project.
