Fantastic stuff!

I'm living vicariously through you. . .

You know, your discussion before about this oil alarm system (the light & warning buzzer that kept going off) makes me wonder if there wouldn't be some way to create a "kit" to retrofit to other "normal" 911s based on the same circuitry and Porsche part #'s - similar to what you did with the "peace-of-mind tensioner upgrade kit" and the "carrera oil cooler kit" (both of which I'll be purchasing, incidentally). It's probably a bit of a pain and would require pouring over wiring diagrams and cross-checking with hard-to-locate stuff on the car, but I bet it could be done, and it probably would be a good upgrade. Probably somewhere in the $200-$300 range (?) Heck, I'd pay for that just to have the additional warning if oil pressure ever gets too low. . .

Your pictures of fishing around in that mess of hoses reminds me quite a bit of wrenching on a 951. LOTS of places to lose bolts, washers, clamps, sockets, etc. I STRONGLY suggest having an assortment of magnets on-hand, a couple of good high-intensity flashlights and one of those little "claw" things in the flexible metal tube to help with dropped items. As much as you try to avoid dropping stuff, you inevitably will. Trust me. Been there, done that.

NOTHING is more frustrating when one of the last bolts going back on the engine falls prey to the clutches of gravity and you hear "plink, plink, plink. . . nothing" (doesn't come out the bottom). Grr.
