Pics or it didn't happen!
I had fun at the autocross, but I had a few problems, more about those later. |

Dave took all the pics. I didn't take a camera. I was too busy driving some of the best roads I've been on..
That morning run was such a desolate road... I think I could probably trailer a sports racer out there, throw on a helmet, and do a hillclimb test and tune without anyone caring

Mike I thought you didn't worry about bad tires? I mean those were some scary looking ones on your red 924S....

The 924S' tires were bad due to age.
The Boxster's tires are bad due to pushing them way past their operating temperature, on multiple occasions.

Good point...
Speaking of 924s's... Dad and I were discussing borrowing a rotisserie from a friend of his.... Would be way easier to deundercoat and paint the car on a rotisserie... |

Rotisserie is the way to go- doesn't even have to be a big one as once the rear suspension is off that thing, the tub weights nothing.
When you strip the undercoat off, be sure to bag it up and weigh it all- there are a lot of people who would really like to know some real numbers on what it weighs in at.

Will do. I think I am going to try the dry ice method a buddy of dads told us about.... Basically throw dry ice in the floor pan, let it cool the undercoat, and then knock the undercoat right off.

I've done that method- not the easiest mind you. I had better luck with chemicals and heat guns, etc. I think a lot of dry ice is needed to make it work- lots and lots.
I actually tried to get liquid nitrogen from a chemistry lab to pour over the whole floor pan... I think that would work just as good but in a quarter the time.

 Morning duderinos, Monday is already here, back at the office. Promised myself I am going to speed things up on the engine and tranny rebuild... If I'm not on the road by next spring, I'm gonna hurt myself! Thinking of maybe buying a motorbike too. Not too sure of it though. Need to pump more cash in the 911 first.

I have an older version of that bike wearing knobby tires. They are great fun!

Porsche designed it that way. You get a better view of the red calipers.
