Clutch (HD setup with LWF)
Turbos rebuilt
Refresh heads
Convert to 2WD
etc.

The investment in the special Porsche 993 timing tools to R/R the heads was a little painful but now we're set up to do more of these so it will all work out... or at least that is what I told my wife. Shhhh....

I got my wife a pair of Puma Speed Cats, and I have the Future Cats, great shoes, very comfy!

Next thing you know, she'll want a driving suit, although personally, I think a woman in a driving suit is downright sexy!

Great, I just caught her shopping for shoes... I'm using her laptop and she has these up on it now: http://www.piloti.com/products/produ...od_sku=PR16-11
You are costing me kika!
I need $$ for turbo parts

x2 on the driving suit on women... sometimes more is less

Darin & Mark,

I just made it back home and wanted to say thanks for a great shop warming. It was great to see some old RL faces, met some new ones and check out your fantastic shop! The FD mufflers sound wonderful - now I just need to figure out how to sell it to my wife as a "safety" feature

P.S. - Please thank your wives as well - I know they worked hard to make it happen

Hey guys, thanks for a great afternoon, it was really an amazing setting. It was also a pleasure to meet all the guys face-to-face. Not to put any pressure on you Darin, but already looking forward to next year! Paul

Eric, Yuji and Paul, thanks! It was a blast. Eric and Yuji, glad you had a good trip and made it back down South OK.
And yeah, the wives really helped out. In my case, with a 3yo and 5 yo, the help started the weekend before when she took care of the kids. Now that is dedication

OK, I'll play along..........Karen, but this is from 2000. And no, the suit wasn't hers. Another woman I used to know who was in the direct parts import business got one way back when.

More car pics from the event in a bit when I can compress them down to suitable size for posting here.
