Months in the making, my 1989 911 C4 is back and in perfect shape. I just picked her up from Imagine this AM after a final valve job and replaced steering fluid reservoir (was leaking due to a plait seam). She was close to empty so I went ahead a filled her up with 100 octane (to a tune of just over $100; real nice). Jumping on her is a real treat. She literally flies down the road. Reaching 130 mph was a joke. Due to the wind I decided to back off a bit. Acceleration is blistering fast. She is awesome.

Wife has been in the hospital due to a tumor on her liver which was just removed yesterday. She’s in the ICU now (where I am currently), and hopefully gets moved to a room tomorrow AM. Due to the current state of things I pondered selling the 964… don’t know yet. She’s freaking perfect now, Stephen and crew have done a fantastic job getting her to where she should be (we believe she is now in the 300hp range), but I also have other things going on at the moment. Anyway, I have yet to decide. If I do, you’ll know it once you visit this site.

When (I did say when) I top 170 mph I’ll be sure to grab a video or photo for the site. If I decide to sell her, well, she’ll be in my garage till the new owner takes ownership.

I’ve also updated the cost section to reflect the gas and valve job.

We had a management retreat at the War Memorial downtown. I was early. Pulled up front and grabbed the shot above…unless you see the shot with my baby and my boss’s ALFA.

I’ve got the installation shots of the strut brace in the photo section. I had started to document the replacement of the front and rear lid shocks but PP sent me the wrong ones (apparently it wasn’t all that clear on the website). They’re sending me a new set so I can complete that pain in the ass update.

Getting close to the 1,000 mile mark on the re-re-build. Valve job is getting close.
