911tracker85

I just could not help myself posting this.

was catching up on postings, and saw several threads with the exact info I needed for some of my next 928 projects. I have the shark in great running shape and it may not get a lot of attention this winter other than basic maintenance. have a LOT of work to do on my 911 track car before next season.

it was from reading this forum for a while before I got my shark that convinced me to dive into the tank with the rest of you. I KNEW I could not afford to add a shark to my 911 if I had to have a Pcar mechanic do a lot of work. I have been able to do all of the work on my 911 for the past few years or could not afford to have modified for DE and attend as many track sessions either.

so far I have not encountered any challenges on my shark where I did not find great threads on this forum or got quick replies to my posts.

what a great bunch of people, AND suppliers. could not have my shark without this tank full of people and their advice/experience.

and the avatars are enough to prevent me from surfing the web for ****, women or cars.

A definate +1.

It would not be possible for me to own a 928 without Rennlist.
Without you guys, It would not be possible for me to do most of the work that my car needs.

This site is full of very knowledgeable people.
And I thank you all.

They should print all pages on this forum and sell it as "the ultimate 928 manual".

can't imagine to own a 928 without this forum. if this forum gets closed, i sell my 928. i would have to i guess.

the fun is to check all the new posts , and see how fast they are answered with realy good reply's,

I'm certain my wife and I would not have a 928 today if it weren't for this forum, the community and the outstanding support from our vendors. In fact, we were going to sell our one and only 928 a few years ago because it had so many problems, we never drove it and I didn't know how to fix it - even though I consider myself to be fairly mechanically inclined. Then Jim Bailey told me about Rennlist, I checked it out - learned volumes from so many talented and knowledgeable people - and the rest is history. Now we're swimming in sharks - a complete reversal!! THANKS Everyone!!

I have only been on the forum for a week or so, but I have learned real quick the value you have brought to this forum Dwayne. With you and all the great people here, I have learned stuff in a week what would otherwise taken me years to learn. Thanks to all of you guys for building this to what it is today.

Awesome people and fantastic info. I think it would be the death of the car if the forum and suppliers didn't exist.

And Dwayne is the one that made me A LOT more adventurous in tearing the 928 apart. I am not at all mechanically inclined and all my previous car works were done by mechanics. Dwayne's step by step instructional pictorials made things much more doable so I would go to the garage to take out a part or 2 when I find time. The problem is, I don't get much time with my busy work and now the car looks like a mess.
When my car broke down a few months ago, people are giving me many invaluable tips and Bill Ball offered to drive long trips to look at the car. Mike Ballard aka 86'928sMeteorgrey gave me the diagnosis.
Great group of people.

There is no way my car would be in the good shape its in without the great folks on this forum. My hats off to all of you. Everyone here contributes, even if its just good humor!

The 928 Owners Club is trying to get permission from some of the posters of documents and then store it on a separate server.
This way if either site goes down there will be another copy.

I too like this forum but I still think that for tech links they should be in one easy location and stored in more then one.
We have a lot of good data here but it would also be nice to have a duplicate of the procedures at 928 owners club.

As a 928 owner it only makes cense to also belong to the 928 Owners Club.

IMHO

Yes, this is a great forum.
The best!
So much important information is here.
Deep, rich archives.

You can see also the shift over time in the types of issues faced and the depth and accuracy of the answers.

I think the effect of putting the CD's with the technical information (other than WSM) into the hands of enthusiasts in the last few years is a huge reason.

Its easy to see who reads.

Sounds like you have an idle switch not properly seated.
If that doesn't work, you may have a loose wing-nut on your (ahem) ground strap.

Landseer

I've got a loose wingnut in the driver's seat, I'm afraid.

Speaking of forum contributions, nice work on the early euro stuff I've been dredging from your archives, Jim.

Not to mention the Prototype #6 thread.

The deal is DONE and you should see the 928 Owners Club Technical forum EXPLODE in the coming months! The "owner" of the Technical info we have has already posted on this thread and is as excited to see his info there as we are to host it at the 928OC!

If you have not yet joined the 928OC come see us at 928oc.org and join up. It helps support many of the events you probably already go to as well as provide a voice to the PCA and other organizations for 928 owners!

928 at last

I'm loving the "fairly mechanically inclined" comment. Dwayne, if that's "fairly" I really would like to see your definition of "mechanically inclined"...that person probably works in a clean room at NASA with a Phd in mechanical engineering..

BTW thanks for all your excellent "how-tos" ...saved me a few times now. (and I didn't have to pester Roger).......

Rob, I was laughing at that too!!!
