Greetings......Targa Dude/Jorge.."more about car". it's only a humble '77..but it has been preped for big rides.I wrote about the suspension/no big deal, but it's important to have the security that your 911 can sidestep the asses on the road with you..the smugglers box is filled w/items that may require replacement on big rides such as spare alternator regulator, pedal cluster pin, mirror sticker, ignition coil and Permatune, etc..I mentioned some of the long list on a reply to someone asking what he should carry on a road trip a short ime ago.check my previous posts for the long list..and I have a full set of cheap/good enough tools that I got from Harbor Freight along w/some speciality tools like valve adjust. feeler ga...I don't need no stinken gas jockey putting a wrench to my 911..the radio is a waste on big rides..I have 6 1/2 door speakers w/75X4 MTX amp..with the roof open at 70mph you want to hear your CDs. I did Rod Birch on audio parts, he knows the 911. I use a sheepskin seat cover that is more comfortable than without it, it removes about 40% of harmonics being transfered to the driver.less harmonics means less fatigue..I do my best to rebuild any weak system on the 911 that may be a problem..my driving lights are big time..I don't use the worthless PIAA bulbs..I rewired the light circut with 12ga for low beam and 10 ga for high beam..I use 2 [should use 4 for safety] 75 amp Bosh relays ..the german bulbs are 130/100watt..the 100w low is doable because the 911 is relatively low to other cars on the road.nobody flashes me.more info on my lights in my archives. I want to be able to see everything at 70 mph. I use a voltage ga. to monitor because a regulator problem may not trigger the red lite on the dash, and overvoltage can cause big problems..a CHT ga I find is important.I can get an instant temp reading when doing big hills/mountains/desert and adjust the rpm or 911 speed if needed, for instance when doing a desert my oil temp went up a little. was it because of the road conditions or the climate?..I saw my Cylinder Head Temp was great so it was the climate and I'm not worrying that the road and my driving is causing higher oil temp..I use the Valentine 1 and CB radio to help w/bears, I'm never the point man in traffic..I follow the fastest car, better it's a SUV[bears seem to love to eat them] and when the V 1 sings I slow and the point man gets eaten..The car is not washed to avoid attention on the road and the wheel center caps are removed to help prevent the 911 from being a target, they are a bear target..of course a good alarm system with a pager to relax with when stopping places..I thing you got a dose of my mentality on this......
...Anyway "pwd72s/Paul" took note that a previous pic on this subject was "surreal"..Paul sees things many times that I can't..There was a place I hit to dry out in Arizona called "Lost Dutchman State Park" the following pic is of Supersistion Mountain, it is close to Phoenix and is a good place to stop..the Dutchman discovered gold, so he said, in the mt. and anyone who went looking for the said gold was found killed ....Ron
