Congrats on finding the right gal and don't change a thing on your hot rod!

Lookin' good Mike. Can't wait to see it assembled.

Thanks!


Nobody could talk me out of it!:D NO, im actually very happy! She is very supportive on anything I do. Ive been chasing skirts for a long time. Besides, she loves the Porsche and going fast.

Thanks TED! Its just that im bored. Now that its done I ask myself now what:rolleyes: Maybe ill RSR it. Then again i will be getting married and a bigger house might be nice!

Joseph your green RS is awesome and it is done, don't change it.
My advise find a tub and start a no rush (screaming fast) RSR project while enjoying your RS.
A wider RSR might need a bigger garage too. :D

Speaking of green and garages, after a couple weeks off I actually spent a couple hours in the garage massaging my green bits.

its so nice.

Mike, car is looking great. On another note, I am trying to get down there on the company to see you and Jae etc, but need a valid reason. Any chance you guys are doing RNAV Sids down there now? :)

Cheers

Re: 911 re-body, from RSR+ to the EVO2.
 

Looks like fun! I wanna sit in a 911 like that! :D I'd probably fit quite nicely...;)

But seriously, best of luck on the project! And keep us updated!

Ted / Mike - Looking great! Lots of choices this weekend - Vegas with POC, Willow Springs with PCA or home. You gonna come out and play?

I'm getting ready for Willow Springs

Pete

Guys and gal thanks for the nice comments.
Other than Pelicans only about 5 people have seen it.:)

Hey Jeff, come on down I'll hook you up.

Pete good luck racing this weekend, I predict you'll be in the top ten.
Super Bowl for me this weekend.:)

Looking SWEET!
Congrats again! I love the metal work John did with your oil cooling. Very nice job! Not to mention everything else, of course.

Your right. I bet with some practice on the welder, I could build a nice car. I only have time to drive my car about 3 or 4 time a month as it is.

BTW, the car looks great! Cant wait to see it in person!

Almost done...
I had a great experience getting it painted at Victory Race Paints in San Diego. (619) 281-6024.
Here is a happy photo of shop owner/PCA member Mark Tyler with Hector one of his painters.

It's ready except for the faux door handles and some minor tweaks.

I plan to drive it on the street asap (requires quick change to 2nd set of front fenders w/headlights and smaller/lower wing element).

Here it is track prepped, sitting on 18s with Toyo RA-1 DOT legal tires.
I need to get hot and install the new Mirage windshield banner.;)

1st track day will be with the R Gruppe at Streets of Willow, followed quickly by the POC California Speedway infield event.
Riders welcomed.:D

That looks great. Kind of looks like it's waiting for some big numbers.

'Green Lightning' needs to come to Willow Springs.

WOW! http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/grin.gif

Mike the car looks great - Can't wait to see it in action.

I like Green Lightning or how about the Green Flash, Green Hornet (to track down the killer bee)

or a shamrock motif or even a lucky leprechaun

After all, they are always after me lucky charms

After thought.......
I would have removed the drip rails and went smooth, flush the back-glass for less drag .............like I said just an after thougth but it looks terrific and I bet goes even better. Clearly worth the effort. Definitely 100 smiles an hour plus. Great job!!

Never mind I noticed the back glass mod after I posted.
Great job, Great job..............

Thanks guys.
Jack see ya at Willow, can you make the new R/G SOW date in April?

Thanks Joseph. ;)

Hey Petey Millikin, like the Irish theme but my door's too small to fit my proper Irish name, Michael Randal Reardon McGeogahn. :D
Like the Hornet, makes the bee look like a house/horse fly.;)
His mean bee theme (holding a cigar and machine gun) was actually my concept....
Need to make this Hornet :mad: MAD.... the Mad Hornet....

It was easy as 1,2,3 or in today's dollars 10k, 20k, 30k :)
I'm considering the new 997 fender kit next, not. ;)

Mike, your car looks amazing - wow, it looked nice on the lift but I have to admit now I wasn't too sure about the colors. On the ground with the right stance, the wheels tucked up and the isometric viewpoint, just smokin'!!!!

I went to the Pueblo, CO racetrack yesterday, and it is no Willow Springs :( Takes me back to the 80s and that Cinderella song "Don't know whatcha got 'til its gone"... I knew I would miss that track, but for everyone out there with access to that track - hands down the "bestest track ever dood". All the corners but maybe one were flat at the Pueblo track, so not much way to carry speed through them at all.

I LOVE the feel of T8-T9 at 125mph+ - you guys know that feel, the feel that the car is just hammering and jouncing and there is no way it is going to stay on, but it just keeps sticking and the Gs are pulling your organs to the left side... ugh, you guys suck now, we can't be friends anymore :p ;) :D

When this car is shaken, feeling solid and so forth, I am going to have to trailer it out there for at least an annual run at WS. 'Course will suck to get out there and have what happened yesterday - 5 or 6 laps and then the ignition box died :rolleyes: 266 miles round trip sucks for that, but imagine 2200 miles!
