I second this! I had such a wonderful time this morning. So fun. I was crying-laughing at breakfast, and even went on to tell the story of @boxkita's order with the waitress later on. Y'all are hilarious! Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow mid morning.

@Gex you are more than welcome to come along. I just assumed your friend wasn't going to want to throw the Rolls around the twisties. If I'm wrong, please come along. Or just join us for breakfast. Otherwise, we'll def come barrage you at the event.

I opted for in between 97-133ft-lbs. There's also some angular concerns when going through the tightening sequence. I think I torqued it to 118ft-lbs since it was undecided across the FSM and worldwide web.

A drive for this Saturday! This one was put together by @Captain Redbeard! The route takes approximately an hour, so your Saturday will be safe. It's 40miles in and around Tenino. The end of the route is a destination for pictures. And breakfast will be at the Standstone Cafe a block away.

I did that once! It allowed me to take a day off work, and spend 10hrs in the car driving to and from the builder. 10/10 would recommended.

Nice! Looks like you've been driving the last month. Glad to see that!

My thoughts exactly!!!

Usually posted here, so sub to this thread: Last weekend I just texted everyone's phone numbers directly, so that's the one time it wasn't posted. Most of us are down to drive, and don't usually limit ourselves to one small geographic area of the state, so it may be hard for you to join if you don't like the miles. Some drives are 1.5hrs. Others are a half-days adventure. I put them together all over the western side from the Olympics, to Mt. St. Helens, to Sedro-Wooley, and everywhere in between (Monroe, Redmond, Tacoma, Auburn, Orting, Enumclaw, Snoqualmie, etc.). We actually started in Parkland, but finished in Orting. I'll be sure to tag y'all next time, especially now that I know y'all are local. I won't put anything together this weekend, as l have autocross events Saturday and Sunday, but if y'all are interested in coming out and having fun for $50 + gas, then I'll drop you a link and coordinate with you to see you on Sunday. @boxkita is signed up to be a volunteer and will run in the afternoon if he goes on Saturday. A couple other Porsche friends will be there too.

No, no. The question to ask is how did the Z keep up with the Leggys? I have worked very intimately with Z cars. More notably, the Z32s and Z33s. I saw a handful of Z34s come in. And the shop car was even a 370z Nismo, getting a prototype TT kit from one of the major turbocharger manufacturers. But this one made me look back at it, and I don't even own it. It was so clean. 40K miles. KW coilovers. SPL parts underneath. Brembos. Factory Rays wrapped in RE-71r s with H&R wheel spacers to add a chefs kiss the the fitment. A tame Invidia Q300. It was a pretty car to be chased by through the hills.

Everyone is posting such wonderful things they've done, today. I figured I'd share too. Went on a drive with @boxkita, @Captain Redbeard, and another friend this morning down to Elbe and back up to Orting.

That turbo setup is going to be so, so sweet! I can hear it already.

Big bummer! Unfortunately, I still prefer the PFF7s over the Raijins on my platform.

You're right! Fortunately these wheels are only for HPDE use, so I'm not to picky. If I liked the gravels more than I would absolutely trade you, but I do like the look of the PFF7s more. Do you have any Prodive GC-010e s or GC-010g s you would be willing to trade?

Did you smoke test it from the turbo inlet the first time around as well?

Let us know the results pf the smoke test. My culprits were the intake gaskets between the risers and manifold, and/or the metal gaskets between the risers and engine block. All were replaced when I performed my recent swap, and I have no more RPM dips.

The longer there on the car, the more I like them. I wish the offset was a little more filling for the Outback arches. They look very sunk in at most angles. They're definitely a looker unmounted!

I'm thinking the RPM drop when coming to a stop is a vacuum leak. Replacing gaskets/seals and hoses solved this issue for me. Did you skip replacing any of these on the new EJ20?

As mentioned earlier, in the corresponding thread, I received my car back a couple Saturdays ago. The mystery issue has yet to reveal itself, although we have a few suspicions. BORING. Onto the fun stuff! I mounted and balanced Falken Azenis 615K+s on @shralp's Prodrives, packed the car, and set out for my first HPDE —finally. After just under a year of incessantly clawing my way to a point with the car that I feel safe going 110% in a closed course environment, I was able to attend Porsche Club of America's Autocross event #9 at Bremerton Motorsports Park. I received some great instruction on the fundamentals, from some stand-up instructors who recognized good habits and bad ones from when they were coming up. They humbled themselves before pouring into me, and proceeded to offer a ride along in their own cars. Met a bunch of awesome people. Some novices, and others well-seasoned. 5 timed runs, and 4 fun runs – all in the hot afternoon. I could really use an oil cooler. IMG_4223.MOV A lot of the older guys were very happy to see the wagon out. One took a couple of videos and pictures of my car. I helped him option-out his future 3rd gen Outback, as he missed his previous 3rd gen. I was his push over the edge, and I'm glad to say this was only a bonus to the relationship made this day. At this point I'm thinking we just trade because he has a 987 Cayman S in almost the exact spec I'd want mine, on the OZs (you know the ones) that I would also like for it. I saw in person, and sat in, a GRFour for the first time! This was significant, because it's the only car I've ever wanted to buy new, and put some serious thought into how I might make this happen since it was rumored after the announcement of the GR Yaris. A year and a half later, when the GRFour was confirmed, I went to the nearest dealer to inquire about allotments and possibly put down a deposit. I ultimately decided against. Additionally, I threw my keys to another younger guy who'd shown a bunch of interest in my car throughout the day, and told him to go all-out. Unexpectedly, he returned his keys to his GR86 and said the same. Checked that box!

Sneak-ity peak-ity from this past Saturday.

Aw yeah! You already know what time it is.
