-Wilwood SL-6 front calipers, Z06 rear calipers, DRM brake ducts, LG spindle ducts, Wilwood SS lines

-same street wheels, but going to 275/35-18 & 295/35-18 tires
-for AutoX C4 Grandsport wheels 17"x9.5" & 17"x11" with Kumho V710s, 275/40 & 315/35s

-undecided suspension upgrades, probably just shock/swaybars

-low priority, IF i've got everything else paid for and enough spare parts to get through the summer and enough left over after a Jahreskarte, I'd like a set of Headers

The down side is that I've got to figure out where this coolant leak is coming from and fix that and I've got an engine code to deal with. :cry:

Finish the "Kartster" (go-kart).
Give the 911 a going-over for next season. I think it may need a new clutch and synchro ring on 1st gear, will propably cost a fortune.
Sit out a 2 month driving ban (that one sucks!!!)

That's the way it is every year. Last year, I want to do a lot, but never got around to it.

Hi,

On the Chevy side of life:

new motor 9.5:1 compression
Vortec heads
ZZ4 cam
NOS system
upgraded ignition system
Edelbrock carb and intake

If money allows:

bigger headers and exhaust
front suspension rebuild
sport springs


The good part is I already have installed the motor in the car and was able to run it in!!!!

Dan

You bringing it out to Bitburg next year? Sounds like you'll have a pretty strong running car.

Hi

I'm planning on it. Originally I was trying to get it done for the last race in October but I received the wrong rings and couldn't finish the car. Work has owned me since and I'll finish it soon.

16.3 at 84mph really bothered me. The motor at 300,000 miles was on borrowed time too. It started smoking on start-up so it was time to go. I'm hoping for 12's out of a daily driver.

Dan

Cam, lifers, pistons, and rods. I got most of the eingine torn down now. I started getting a knocking sound from the car and figured is was a good time to rebuild it. Atelast that is my excuse I told the wife. :)
