Good timing, I usually leave town around 9am so I can get there at 7 for a hour or two !

[BlackSheep]

WOW!! That is early... I'll still be there!

[Crash]

I wish I was gonna be there, but I have an event to go to in Tulsa. Take lots of pictures.

[Qship5]

6:30 AM:eek::eek::eek:

What brainchild came up with that idea!:hmmmm2:

I'll show up, but I doubt I'll be there first thing.

Well, it wasn't me! And I will also be challenged to get there at oh-dark-thirty. But I'm sure the summer heat was a driving factor in the decision.

[Silentrun]

oh-dark thirty is right...man that cuts into the weekend sleep.

[Blake]

Wow, I wanted to go, but I can't even wake up at 6:30am if I won the lotto 5 minutes before.

[Raven]

Isn't it still dark outside at 6:30AM?
Who's the genius that picked the butt-crack of dawn start time?

[Mr. Hollywood]

Sunrise this morning was at 6:18. The earlier the better.

Carry on...

[TiptronicSoldier]

Hopefully I will be there, my weekends have been crazy the past month....

Well, another thought besides the heat factor is that the organizers may be trying to mirror the start time of the original Cars and Coffee event in S. California. They started at 6:30am.

CA is so far behind everyone, that 6:30 AM doesn't really seem that early. :)

LOL...Very true. You need to keep in mind we're talking about a place where people leave work early on Mondays in the fall to watch the Monday Night Football games.;)

[BLKFIN]

They better have LOTS of coffee!!

[427Aggie]

This is GREAT...this is what you want guys....the riceburners won't even be up by the time we get done and are out of there :)

perfect time..I'm usually up by 6 so a little earlier won't hurt see you there.

[Fubar]

We can definitely count out Kumar. The man doesn't know what time 6:30am happens.

[JackG]

Right, plus the distraction to them running a business. I'm quite sure the event pulls a number of people away from their "real" jobs at Classic. Even though the exposure is good for Classic, it has to be a challenge to staff the event with dealer personnel and keep the focus for customers on the showrooms where they make their money. My bro sells for them and I think most of the sales force (and prospective customers) was outside looking at the great cars and not inside selling.

I'll definitely be there but not on the first row!!!

Jack

[Mr. Hollywood]

6:30 should be perfect. I was driving home this morning at 5:45 and it was ideal.

Fubar, I almost needed your services this morning. Plano cops suck. :laugh:

[snowball]

Wimp! :laugh: It's cooler early in the morning so damn much better than waiting till the late morning hours.

[Fubar]

LOL, you wouldn't be the first. Feel free to call me if you need me to drive you car home. :)

[Qship5]

Wimp! :laugh: It's cooler early in the morning so damn much better than waiting till the late morning hours.

Nice!!! The older guy calling the old guy a wimp!

[BMW_TT]

I think my buddy with the twin turbo Ford GT will be there.

Kumar... at 6:30am :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Mr. Hollywood]

Kumar... at 6:30am :laugh::laugh::laugh:

A lot of us will be at NYLO the night before....including Kumar. That's only 5 minutes away.

[BMWAgee]

:thumpdown: good thing I only live 40 miles from Plano... that means I only have to get up by 5:30! YESSSS! so when I wake up late, it will be sort of like this: :sleep::sleep::sleep: clock goes off :eek::burnout::driver::argh::argh::driver: while everyone else on the road is rightfully like this: :ahhhhh::afraid::turtle::afraid:

awesome.

$5 for rides :laugh:

[Fubar]

That's a cool hotel, I'll see you guys at the C&C.

[m topls]

So what is going on at NYLO the night before? Should I bring some of my girlfriends? We already have other plans for Friday night, but we might be persuaded to adjust them! :)

Just a bday party. Feel free to post pics of your GF's. :beer:

[mbowdo20]

Perhaps the young guys could just stay up till it starts, go there then crash after.

I don't know about young...but that's the plan...

[LexSc430]

This was a great event last month so I guess sleeping in will have to wait until Sunday.

[AMG]

ahh my car's in the shop for some mysterious problem no one can figure out. hopefully it'll be taken care of so I'll be out there

[vh_bu98]

6:30 AM is early, but I'll be there with the camera. Hopefully I can get my car wash and it not take an hour that early in the morning.

[Silentrun]

My car is in the shop with a lifter problem...under warranty.

[RaceMX-M3]

I think we should consider having all of the weekly meets early to get out of the heat. Maybe start at 8am.

[Fubar]

I agree... of course this week is off because of C&C.

[Silentrun]

Looks like I will be driving a loaner cayenne:

Lifter issue on right side of engine...more pictures to follow. Oh, maybe now is a good opp. to get larger turbos...maybe.

[BMW_TT]

Do it!

[Silentrun]

They are saying a new clutch as well as the larger turbos...

[Mike CLK Black]

Who's doing the work?
Is Porsche going to warranty the new (bigger) turbos as if they were stock?

[Silentrun]

Labor and fixing the lifter problem is under warranty...new turbos and clutch is just something I can do while the whole engine is down. Things happen for a reason :) Boardwalk Porsche is doing the work, I trust them implicitly.

[RaceMX-M3]

Cool. As long as the engine's out you might as well also have that V1 put inside your rear view mirror. :)

[Silentrun]

Good idea except I move the V1 from car to truck as necessary.

[Henry]

Gonna go ahead and try to make this one since I missed the last one.

....

Are the GT2 turbos bigger?
Will they be Porsche VTG's or aftermarket?
Will you need to re-tune the ecu?
Exhaust?
Sorry for the interrogation, former 996T owner here but I never modded it.
Last Q, did you think about leaving the front driveshaft off, even for a little while? You could throw it in the car, run a couple of sessions at the track and then put it back on. It's the best of both worlds.



Back on topic, I see an 8:30 to 9:30 arrival for me on Saturday.

[Silentrun]

Boardwalk uses only Sportec mods:

http://www.sportec.ch/page3085.html

Basically, larger VTG turbo units further modified ecu and stronger clutch. I already have a great exhaust the Europipe and the airfilter.

I have heard others removing the driveshaft, it's not a GT2 and never will be mostly because of the ecu telling the car what to do and still transitioning power. Not an expert here, just play one on the internet!!!!

[Silentrun]

Parts are on the way! Including light weight flywheel.

[BMW_TT]

Congrats

[Qship5]

Michael, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!:adore::adore::adore:

I'm going to need to get a ride in this thing after the transformation to full on rocket ship is complete.

Way to represent for the German side!
We needed a hero to help RaceMX, what with Fubar and Black Sheep just going completely OFF on their American iron!

Today's pictures...looks like the #6 cylinder exhaust lifter:

Track toys!!!! I want one!:D

[Silentrun]

Me too!! Driving the fun street car on the track works but not like a track car than can really be driven 10/10

[Silentrun]

Michael, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!:adore::adore::adore:

Should be fun!!

Not sure 620hp P-Car will work against a million hp GT, vette or vipe...:burnout:

[Mike CLK Black]

Weren't you getting those tire shredding spinners that 007 had on his Aston?

Thanks for the pictorial too!

[Silentrun]

Nope, got the lasers that cut the body away from the chassis instead :)

[GTCole]

I'm pissed. You are costing me money.

[GTCole]

While you are at it money bags, get a short shifter.

[Silentrun]

Credit power:D I didn't like the short shifter I drove...but it wasn't a porsche shifter, maybe b&m

[Silentrun]

Are you going to send your car off to GMG? 1000HP?

[GTCole]

Are you going to send your car off to GMG? 1000HP?

No, No, and No. I'm trying to kick my habit. I'm trying to kick my habit. I'm trying to kick my habit. You are removed from the AA group. It's worse than any drug habit could be. Ugh. FVD wants me to change turbo's. That's the max I can do without some major motor stuff. Not sure if I want to blow $12k on turbo's, or buy a track car and apply $12k to its price. I need neither.

I sure like my shifter on the GT2. That is personal preference. When I drove Shilling's turbo, I couldn't shift half as good as a girl. I think it is more what you are used to. My dos centavos.

[Silentrun]

Just that fix, need that last little fix... ;)

Why do you gotta make this a racial thing... some people :hmmmm2:

What's wrong with racialing? :dontknow: If you don't want to race anymore it's ok with me. :)

[Fubar]

I bet it's okay with you but a little "payback" is being bolted on to my car this week. The race must inevitably follow.
