You've come a long way; from Scotty B bending you over the barrel to Bill giving you a fair shake. The S model w/ an LS3 will hopefully be my next project. Nice car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

QUOTE(Mark Henry @ May 17 2018, 08:46 AM)  The bigger issue with the dual mass flywheel is the rubber dampening center section wearing out. This year alone I've replaced 3 DM flywheels that looked good but failed the spec test on the center. Mark, is there a better option for the flywheel? I know the p.o. didn't do well driving a clutch it was pretty burned up and worn and yes the dual mass rubber thing is a problem- do they make a different one, I believe my new one came from Porsche so its OEM. - I have never worn a clutch out in my life- I only had 2k miles on the car myself when I took it in to do the clutch. my last S I had I put 30k miles on it and no issue, and the next owner has put another 30 k on it for a total of 120 and still on the original clutch and flywheel. should I expect to get atleast 60-75k miles on this new one? - oh and that motor you are building looks awesome!, LS3 boxster? hm . seems like the Boxster is becoming the more popular platform for modifications now.... |

Nice car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Ha, thanks for reminding me! I suppose it evens out with this one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) BTW, should clarify it was Scotty Boy, who is now banned from 914world. Post pics of that thing when you finish it! QUOTE(Philip W. @ May 16 2018, 10:44 PM) - but 20 year old shocks suck, so that will be the next upgrade. - oh btw our cars are twins- Silver with hard top- So enjoy! Yup, that's actually my first project too. My new rear struts just showed up and I'm doing those this weekend. I'll do the fronts later this summer. Great looking car! Almost twins - my hardtop is actually a non-metallic grey. I had intentions of painting it to match the car, but the more I look at it the more I like the vintage two-tone vibe it has. Although I don't know if it's a case of affection by association (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It reminds me of an early two-tone Ghia or 356 notchback, although I wonder if that's a reference that's lost on more modern Porsche owners than not.
