Just remember that Porsche's are no meant to have extra parts after you're done like Ikea furniture does.

 

Forgot to mention that Vinnies initial Gtech 286 RWHP was with HEAVY 20" wheels.........and he has C4S...

I think the guy has a very strong car here OR the wheel weights done mean Sh$t!


Stacy

 

Or the GTech gives random readings

 

Did you weigh his car before the gtech run Stacy?

Sounds like you're making great progress so far.

 

Yup...I am.
He weighed it and we weighed me before getting in!
I sent him outside to clean the insides of the wheels.
I can't BELIEVE people let their cars get this dirty in the hard to clean areas!!!
But I think I have rubbed off on him...He has been using my cleaning brush and rags to wipe away.......


Stacy

 

That's what happens to cars that get driven Stacy they get dirty!
I'm not gonna lie its hard not to want to clean your car after seeing Stacy's car it is freakishly clean, I honestly can say I've never seen such a clean used car before, wait a minute it hasn't been used. lol

But seriously we all joke about his car you should see his house it's even cleaner, actually being here has really concreted my confidence in Stacy's
install abilities if he installs this SC with even half the care he puts into his own stuff, I'll be in great hands.

BTW engine mounts are in, the Wevo's must be half the weight of factory ones, considering all the stuff Stacy has he doesn't have scale to get exact numbers.

Ed - I told Stacy he could take in the rain but I get a Stacy style detail in return. I don't think he has it in him to take any p-car in the rain he'll start panicking.

Ed - I will definitely be driving tonnes, I may even try her out on the track this year, I got my first taste last year it was alot of fun.

Ken - I was lucky to even get in his garage with my shoes on let alone a dirty car. Stacy's rubbing off on me I've already done the calipers.
All the work on the outside of the blower doesn't bother me it's all the dust you old guys leave behind on the inside that does!

Everything seems to be going great, I feel like a sponge absorbing everything that's going on.

It's time to throw in the towel for the night, Stacy's got tickets for us to the local ballet

 

Please do take it to the track, Stacy doesn't have a set of B A L L S, so his won't make it there.

I think a Stacy detail will take you until mid summer, just accept it with a little rain on it.

 

Stacy,

I told u that u should have installed a LIVE feed in the garage, so we could watch the progress!

Here are the some more pics from yesterday.........



Vinnies car torn apart.......




Wevo engine mounts installed....
These are about half the weight of the OEM and a lot stiffer than the stock mounts.




Here is the pic as the doors in the garage closed.....




THis is why we didn't get the charger on yesterday......
Had to take a good long look at this...2009.
A fellow/friend that I use to work with stopped by with this gem.What a beautiful rid......Congrats Stu(wa2fast)

 

Looks like a future project sitting in the driveway! When does the SC kit go in Stu's car?

 

We could start anytime, BUT....whenever I go over to Stacys I get stuck waxing the calipers, and looking for dirty spots on his car!
BTW....Stacys' car is even cleaner that it looks in the photos. This is the ONLY black car I've ever seen with NO paint "swirl / scratch" marks from day to day washing & care.
Cattman....where were you! We were all waiting for you to show up so we could start the install.

 

Stacy: with that big gun camera of yours, I'm surprised you can't do better. Here are 2 of those dark photos lightened up to see them better. By the way, when you say the new motor mounts are lighter, how much weight savings are you talking about?
PS, nice tool box!

 

What is involved in installing motor mounts, and why do you think you need them?

Had I known a couple of weeks ago, I'd be there to help bang it out! But JEllis may be buying an SC, and if he does, I may fly to San Diego to help him do his installation.
CATTMAN

 

Thanks Stu,
You know better.......like I promise I will buy a hoist and GET that dirty spot with the pressure washer!

I wanted to keep them dark.......hide Vinnies dirty car,LOL!
I bought the motor mounts with the HOPE of stopping the charger from hitting the deck-lid.......and better throttle response!


Well after a long nite of drinks at the pub and 'Ballet'......we managed to get a 11 am start........10 hrs total so far(the only thing I let Vinnie do was remove the under-trays),he wanted to do more BUT I am too much of a control FREAK.......
NOW we are waiting on the DME re-program and the guy to wire the IC pump...







Maybe another 5 hours to re-assemble the car....


Stacy

 

After I heard about the supercharger rubbing issue I actually thought that doing different motor mounts might help. Are these actually part of a engine lowering kit or are they just stiffer. I believe you can actually buy a kit to lower the engine. Not sure where I saw it but I know it exists.
