Should I stay or should I go now? My 986 S

As everyone may know I have more then 1 or 2 issues with the car since getting it back. I have a few ideas in mind about what to do about getting it fixed but since I am to emo attached to it, I thought I would ask you all what I should do. Remember, out of every Porsche I have drivenI like it more then all but the GT3RS. Here are what I have in mind:


1. Send it to Imagine Auto and have them fix it. (no idea on when I would get it back or how much it will cost)

2. find another mech local to get it done who knows nothing about the kit. MZ is going to be gone to long to fix it.

3. Take off the SC and sell it and then sell the car. (No clue what to buy to replace or if I will buy another car)

4. Have somone local do a BIG build like a 4.0 on it and make 400+ HP (who can build and tune local??)

5. Try to get Todd Z with Proto to take a look at it while he is here working on Jag's car. I just thought of this and have not even approched to see if there is an interest in it. Expensive but may be worth it.

6. Screw it and let it collect dust in the garage like it has done for the last 1.5 years.

As you can see I am very frustrated about how few of miles I have driven it and how ofted it has been at the shop. I always think that it is just this one last thing to make it perfect.

Thanks for the ideas seattle 6speeders.

Josh...

What are the problems that you're having with it? Besides the 02 Sensor?

I know you were getting a misfire on 3 cylinders because of the 02 sensor, but that should be a fairly easy fix.

What else is pissing you off about the car?

I think Ashis has a track day that day (he's breaking in his new track E30).

Let me run it past him and see which day is best to ***** him out.

Josh,

Lets see if we can get your car running right before you start dumping MORE money into it and pull more out of your GT3 fund =P

The BBQ idea sounds like a good one! Send me your address via PM! Maybe I can bring my dog, Tahoe. What else should we bring?

Very funny, ok, fine, I'll drop her off and then you can dog sit her while I go out and play in the snow!

Seriously aside, I'll be there. What time?
