I noticed your avatar James is a super close likeness -- and your BHP rating is similarly representative .. I think your turning that much in one lug nut !

Awesome! Did you finally install a new clutch? :)

 

Yes, finally bit the bullet & had it installed. Some drama & extra parts involved but all seems good for now.

Sachs 764? I hope so, or Proto Twin. Those will both be work well for you.

Perfect. You're all set for success now :) The "only" other thing you could have done if you were doing the LSD was the CMS diff cover. It's the last piece you could possibly break (not that you should at 650hp).... but "while it's apart"

ah, slipped my mind that I got the diff cover too!

 

Just gotta check for boost leaks & figure out who to go with for tuning.

I know you had mentioned Dzenno but it sounds like Porsche guys are having a hard time getting a hold of him lately.

did the car not come factory with LSD or is this a 'better' unit? my GTS has PSD that is managed by a seperate system with brake fluid....similar?

Still four days out so the forecast could change. But right now it's looking like it will barely get above freezing, cloudy and who knows a wet or snowing tarmac? Not exactly ideal conditions to driving at the limit on cold tires and cold brakes. Thoughts?

I believe based on the poll that the event will be rescheduled for next Saturday. It looks to be MUCH warmer and dry!

 

I guess I was not aware of this poll you speak of, possibly because several years ago I closed my Facebook account (with no plans of ever opening it up again). Once it is official that the event is postponed, if someone could post a message here in this thread, it would be much appreciated. Thanks

The event has officially been rescheduled for Saturday September 29th. (This Saturday = snow and +5, next Saturday = Sunny and +13). Let's hope it stays this way!

 

ps. I had the car out on low boost last night. All I can say is "wow". It pulls as hard at 14.3 psi as it did last year @30psi. I'm on straight 91 octane now. Hoping to dyno it next week on E85 before the event.

Sorry to sound like a broken record here, but what is the word on this Saturday. The WX doesn't look very promising ... again. :S

 

The event has been cancelled. Weather is terrible. We’re still looking to squeeze one more in if the weather shapes up in the next few weeks

Just found out the first 1/2 mile event of 2019 is Sunday, June 9th!

Looking forward to it!

 

Don't want to make a big deal out of this, but I paid for the 1/2 Mile Event last fall which was rightfully cancelled because of bad weather, but no refund was ever issued. Does this mean I am SOL, or can we apply the payment from last fall to this event?

Hey Steve; I believe you can either contact Raz or James or what I did was log on to the 1/2mile site & register for the event & send a note to use my credit from the cancelled event.
