Shake down autocross
Yesterday I took this 924S down to Huntsville and did 5 laps autocross. I found out a few things. The suspension is loose and it handles like a pig. I put on the wheels from the '82 931 with Hankook RS-3 and that helped a lot. The engine performed well, the transmission is good and the clutch doesn't slip. Half way through the heat, I check the PS reservoir and it was empty. When I got back to my garage and put some ATF in, it promptly leaked out the rack (good thing I didn't re-fill in paddock). Last couple of runs the engine began to cut out. I'm attributing that to junk in the fuel tank and I've got a fuel filter on order. I also ordered a reproduction intake boot as the on it is held together with electrical tape.
