I know I can't mention service companies, but there is a resident genius working on Lincoln in Orange.

Skip (Not the name of the place) got my car running better than anyone ever did, and he did a lash job like none I ever saw before.

I watched. I marveled! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

He also got the flaps/bellows done in about 10 minutes, and the way he timed the 2.0 it was sheer inspiration. He has a lifetime of knowledge, and I have a secret about MPS's that he taught me, and I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES!

I know I can't mention names, but those of you in the area that want the gory details, just pm me. The MPS thing is STARTLING! Not one person in all my years around teeners ever showed or told me this absolutely true phenomena.

This was worth every penny I spent, and I got to watch!

Thank you to the people that recommended this place!

Best always,

John

Thanks, Guys!

I went to Steve's Independent Porsche Repair on West Lincoln in Orange, and they got it all right! They did so much in 2 hours that I had to watch closely! I am talking valve lash, timing, bellows wire, AAC (shorted out) and ECU. They were laughing at my astonishment.

Steve, the owner, is not well, and has a serious ailment, but his two guys, Steve and Skip are the guys to see! Steve books and Skip does a lot of the work. Steve, the owner, is close to Skip, and they have 4 or 5 teeners that can be sold off, running, chassis, parts, and everything in between.

I told them I would help them inventory what they have over the coming months, write descriptions, and I would, because you all have been so good to me, post them here from time to time just to give a brief description and you can call them directly.

This place has a lot to offer teeners. I am not making a penny off of anything, but they have so much that some of us here will find what we need. Steve, the owner, has all kinds of things teener that he has accumulated over the years.

Sure, they have 930's, 996's and all kinds of 911's in there for all kinds of services, but they both know 914's, and Skip is wildly brilliant on the 2.0L DJet or LJet! He has 2 - 2.0L's running, and a 3rd engine I saw ready to reinstall. Their work is fabulous!

Skip showed me so many tricks on my DJect, that I have to go over them a couple of times, but the biggest hint is KEEP your ignition wires AWAY from the MPS. FOREVER! It smoothed out my takeoff from idle like it was a new car. the EMF is the culprit. Route that Cyl 3 wire under the throttle body pipes - NO JOKE!

And there are other things too, but he has more that he has forgotten that anyone I ever heard about in person. He actually knew when the engine was at 3500 rpm from the sound, and I watched 2 tachs, and every time he got to 3500 rpm, he knew it. I was hysterical!

So, Steve's in Orange. A place where I gladly parted with my money over my teener.

Best regards,

John
